They really enjoyed the size and fluffiness of this and of course all wanted to have their own batches in their favourite colours too! I heard that adding shaving cream to the usual recipe would increase the volume of the slime and make it super fluffy to play with. Well, we had to experiment with that idea right away of course! Make an adorable fine motor skills game for kidswith this eat the carrots DIY fun tray! Simple to put together and fantastic for developing hand strength, hand- eye coordination and counting too.

Having never made slime before earlier this year I will gladly say this is now in my absolute Top 10 favourite Sensory Play Ideasand is also wonderful for Fine Motor Skills developmenttoo. It doesn’t quite match play dough yet, not yet at least, but has many wonderful benefits for sure! The good thing about making slime is that it doesn’t have to be too exact to still work, so there’s definite room for experimentation here!Pairing up the play with some reading of these fabulous digger books outside, would make the best playtime ever!
