Are your kids into slime" It's the thing around here...kids are making (and selling) it like hotcakes. You can't find a bottle of glue on the shelves ANYWHERE (glue is the main ingredient in slime) and many kids have taken to ordering glue by the gallon on Amazon. (I know this from experience!)
Slime was recently banned at my kids' elementary school because it has become such a distraction. But I have LOVED watching my kids make it. It has replaced all technology as the main form of entertainment in my house. They make all sorts of colors, textures, add sparkle, make it super stretchy or mildly stretchy, and include all sorts of crazy mix-ins. They even have an Instagram account where they sell slime to their friends, and have learned so much about supply and demand, opportunity cost, and SHARING. My kiddos are the slime experts!
Anyway, they threw a Valentine's batch together yesterday and I thought I'd share their recipe. Give this one to your kiddos and I'll bet they have some fun!
