Making Slime

For her birthday this year, my 8 year old received a slime making kit, seen below.

The kit comes with all of the necessary materials and equipment to make four different types of slime (glow in the dark, magnetic, changing color, and plain).  We haven't tested all of the types out yet, but we did test the changing color slime. 

This is a neat activity and the cost of the kit was minimal.  I've seen these kits in Target for around $10 - 15.  Given there are enough materials for four separate slime making activities, that's a fairly reasonable cost.  Both of my kids loved it and can't wait to make their next bowl of slime!  You can also search the web for homemade recipes, but if you want all of the materials in one kit, this is an excellent option.
