 Bug Slime Sensory Play

Yes, he added a fly swatter to our bug slime! Believe it or not but this bug slime was his idea. Definitely not what I would think up. However, it turned out pretty cool I think. Bug slime is the perfect way to welcome Spring too!

Slime is also a science too! Sensory play and learning is the best. Our Easter slime has both the properties of a liquid and a solid. It takes the shape of whatever container it is in like a liquid. However, It can also be picked up like a solid. This Easter slime is called a polymer. We aren’t there yet but one day we will learn about atoms, molecules, and elements!

I love clear slime! This bug slime was pretty cool with the sunlight shining through it!

He really developed a great storyline with this bug slime sensory play. Simple plastic bugs are an easy addition to slime!

Slime bounces too! It’s lots of fun apparently to roll it into a big bouncy ball and bounce it all around.
