Soapy Slime

Today's activity was really good fun, and I think it might be top of my list of sensory activities - it feels DEVINE!

J helped to measure the soap flakes and water out and he poured them into a big mixing bowl.  Then J helped me to mix the mixture using our electric whisk.  J was amazed that the teeny flakes disappeared and in their place was a huge quantity of white fluffy soapy slime!

J mixed in some food colouring and then pronounced that he had made ice cream!  Initially he used a spatula to mix the soapy slime and the food colouring, but once he got stuck in with his hands there was no stopping him.

The after school children also got stuck in to the soapy slime, they also loved squishing it with their fingers, and T enjoyed smothering it all over his arms too.

















And the bonus of this activity was that the clean up operation was quite easy!!!
