- DIY Slime in Plastic Containers
Slime is always popular among kids. At Dollar Tree, you can buy glue, baking soda, contact solution, food coloring, and plastic containers.
Before starting, explain safety rules. Slime should not be eaten and hands should be washed after playing. Measure white glue into a bowl, add a small amount of baking soda, and mix well. Add a few drops of food coloring. Slowly add contact solution while stirring until slime begins to form.
Let children knead the slime with their hands until it reaches the right texture. Store it in plastic containers to keep it fresh.
This sensory activity helps children explore texture and improve hand strength. It is also fun and relaxing. Always supervise younger kids during this project.
