Each kid had a slime making set up already on the table with two bowls.  hadI already the water and starch already poured. Depending on the age of the kids thy can do the measuring themselves.

I pulled the starch containers back so the glue wouldn’t accidentally get mixed into the starch. The kids emptied the glue, added food coloring, and sprinkled as much glitter as they wanted into the mixture.

Then everyone mixed and mixed. Parents supervised along the way, but it looked like they were having just as much fun too! I am sure it’s pretty nice when the mess isn’t at your house!
