Sometimes I like to try out new recipes on my own children before I bring them into our program.  They get to be my beta testers and I can figure out how how long it takes to make, how messy the cleanup is, and if things like clothes and hands get stained after they use it.  Our youngest son had two of his friends over on Saturday and I took advantage of three six year old critics to test this one out.

They had so much fun taking turns stirring and dumping the glitter and balls in!  When it was ready they thought it looked like galaxies  or the ocean when they stretched it out. The cleanup wasn't bad, and it left no traces of color on their little hands after they played.

Our preschool friends loved it as well and have been asking for it during center time every day!  We are going to try out variations in colors and textures next!

I found a recipe for green slime on savvysavingcouple.net But we decided to make ours blue and to add glitter and slime balls to add more texture and fun to it.

• Two bowls
• 1 cup hot water- as hot as the tap can get *no need to be boiled
• 1 cup water
• Blue gel food coloring
• 1 cup of clear school glue (we used Elmer’s) You will need two bottles to make this amount
• 1 Teaspoon Borax 20 Mule Team
• Glitter
• Foam slime balls (I found ours at Michaels)
• Measuring Cup
• Gloves

We are switching over from Facebook to this page as a way to keep our families updated on the fun things we are doing throughout our days.  We hope to be able to update more regularly and also give the community a peek into our program for families looking for care.  Here are a few samples of what we do that we stole off of our Facebook page before we deleted it.

Stay tuned for more!!
