Our magnetic slime idea is perfect for the younger crowd of mad scientists. Our homemade slime recipe is awesome and easy to make. I love how science for young kids can be all about exploring and playing. Slime is the best substance for cool science and even cooler play. We have made all sorts of awesome slime ideas.

BASIC SLIME SCIENCE OF HOMEMADE SLIME
You could easily get out other items in the slime. Check out your junk drawer for more options. Mini cookie cutters, mason jar rings, nuts and bolts, or whatever. My son just enjoys taking the wand around the house, but the slime is a very neat sensory play element.
We have enjoyed this magnetic ice science activity too.
This magnetic slime science activity makes learning fun and easy for kids to get engaged in and spend some time with as well. I really appreciate any activity that keeps my son busy for thirty minutes.
When done with the magnetic slime activity, remove the items and store your homemade slime in a plastic container with lid. It will keep for several weeks of awesome sensory play. Happy learning!
