Do you like slimes? For a while, I was afraid to make slime with children. I guess, like a lot of parents, I wanted to avoid the mess. But smooshing and squeezing slime looks like an enjoyable sensory activity with a splash of chemistry. So I searched for simple recipes of non-toxic slimes that make a minimum mess.

More slime recipes will be coming soon.
