Slime!

I don’t know how this became a “thing” but making slime is the most exciting thing for kids Sam’s age to do these days. It’s really not hard, it’s just a bunch of Elmer’s glue, some baking soda, and some contact lens solution, mostly. I always told Sam there was no way in heck we were doing it. I figured it would be a nightmare using all the glue. Well, over the summer, Sam’s friend Lina’s mom told me they made it and it was super easy and not messy at all. I gave in and bought the slime ingredients and Sam and I finally got around to making some. Sam loved it! And really, it wasn’t a big deal at all. The easiest thing to make, and kind of fun to play with. Here’s Sam mixing her first batch of slime.
After we made regular slime, I told her I had a recipe for fluffy slime (that one contains lots of shaving cream). It got huge!
It was so funny. Sam spread it all out on this plastic mat and it totally stuck!
I had bought her some jars to store it in, but…well…maybe the fluffy slime won’t fit. 🙂
We really had a great time doing it and Sam thought I was just the best for letting her. I guess it goes to show, that if I get over my neatnik tendencies and just let her have some good old messy fun, it can really be worth it.
