Poppy Snot Slime

If your kids love Trolls and slime, they are going to go wild for this easy to make and visually appealing Poppy Snot Slime!

We love hands on activities, and we love all things Trolls! This Poppy Snot Slime is so easy to make and it is so much fun to play with. It has so much stretch to it that it is hard to resist stretching it thin and peeking through the clear slime!

Ingredients:

Clear Elmer’s School Glue

Sta Flo Laundry Starch

Water

Chunky Confetti Style Glitter (I got mine at Target in the dollar spot)

Poppy Slime Directions:

Mix water and clear glue.

Add as much pink chunky glitter as you desire!

Slowly begin adding liquid starch, add about 1/4 cup to start with.

Right away your slime will begin to pull away from the sides of the container you are mixing in.

Keep stirring until you have a blob of slime that has no liquid.

Dribble just a drop of starch on your hands. Now begin kneading the slime until it is no longer stringy.

This was my first time using starch to make slime and I was super impressed. It was easy enough for the kids to handle and it was so much fun for all of us! Hands on science is irresistible when it involves slime.

Play Doh Flower Counting Activity

Make counting and learning early math tons of fun for little ones with this hands on activity that combines early math with hands on tactile play. 

Play doh is the ultimate tool for play or learning at my house. We love to squish, mold and create with it, plus there are so many ways to learn with it. Adding it into our math lessons was a natural choice.

I was looking for a way to get Harper excited about early math, but it is hard to focus in the spring. There are so many colors, sights and smells to take in after months of indoor confinement.

As I took in the sights of spring, my inspiration was blooming all around me.
