As a wing-woman to other moms it’s very important to share not only the successes, but the not so successful moments as well. They are all moments that are part of the experiences that help our kids grow into well rounded people who can appreciate that things don’t always go as planned. Enter this month’s mid-month tip- sometimes the fun is in the failure. This month’s theme is ‘Activities’ so the kids and I decided to get on board with the blog post and try the slime recipe.
As the title of this post alludes to, we did not end up with slime. We did however end up with a variety of ‘kind of like slime’ concoctions in a variety of colours, which led to some fun sensory experiences and a very messy kitchen. To be honest I think my youngest could have cared less if we actually ended up with slime, mixing dyes into glue with her hands was enough fun for her.
The other two were disappointed, but still made the best of it, and even comforted me when I was disappointed at the lack of slime four attempts later. With comments like ‘at least we tried mom’ I feel assured the experience was not a waste of time. Still though, if anyone has slime making experience I’d love to hear your tips!
