Due to the request of Kinsley, we show you how to make slime in this week’s video! It was our first time in this endeavor, yet we were pleasantly surprised how easy it is to make! It by far has been the most popular project with the kiddos. We just googled slime recipes and discovered using glue is one of the more popular methods. No matter the recipe you use, always make sure there is an adult present when making and handling the slime. We adapted our recipe from here, making a few alterations along the way. A fair warning with the glitter though…it gets everywhere! Kinsley and I may have been a touch too eager in that particular department ☺ Anywho, happy making!
