In occupational therapy we love to explore and create! Here’s what we are up to this week: Halloween is here, which means it’s time to make….
LAVA SLIME
Ingredients:
- 5 oz. bottle of Elmer’s clear school glue
- 1 TB liquid watercolors
- 1 TB red color
- 3oz. Sta-flo liquid starch
Instructions:
- Be sure to add the glue first
- Then mix in the liquid watercolors (food coloring works, as well).
- Slowly add in the liquid starch, stirring well along the way.
- Knead the slime for a minute or two, then check the stickiness and stretch. (If more starch is needed, be sure to add it in a tablespoon at a time and knead together.)
