Making your own slime, goop, or putty with kids is such a fine activity, especially for kids who love all that sensory stuff. For kids who don't love the goo, that is a whole other story! In our first grade year, we made oobleck, and some cool bathtub color-changing Epson salts. With the National Geographic slime set, though, you don't have to worry about ANY of the mess at all. You simply mix together what comes in the kit, which is so convenient! #ad
