We don't let our kids watch alot of tv but there is one show that O and S love, Sid the Science Kid(on our PBS station). It's actually a really good show. It's a good reminder for me of all those science-y things you learn in school. :) Anyway, this week there was a Halloween episode and they made slime. I thought we should try it out today. The show said mix equal parts water and corn starch... we had to use more corn starch than water. We also didn't have green washable paint to add but it was still cool. Because it's better to actually see the slime drop, I'm including some videos. Actually there are three of them. :) We just signed up for internet through a new company in our neighbor and it's so much faster and better that I'm able to upload videos in seconds instead of hours so there may be more videos on my blog. :)
Slime!!
The kids watched this video over and over. They found it very funny.
As you saw, O was very into this. Her hands were covered! Which surprised me because she normally doesn't like to have her hands dirty.
S liked it too but wanted to use his spoon
this is the face I got right after the previous photo was taken
fun and messy!
very messy
If you want to try this at home I will give you two suggestions, one I did, the other I didn't. The one I did, cover the table with plastic wrap. I taped it to the sides of the table. The second one, use throw-away bowls for your slime. I'm all about the recycling but it was really rather hard to get the slime out of my bowls since I didn't want it clogging up my drain or dishwasher.
