I have decided that Halloween is so much more fun when you have kids! There are so many fun crafts to do and fun stuff to make! On Thursday I am hosting a craft playgroup where the kids will be making cute Halloween crafts. I went over to my friend's house today to make homemade slime for the kids...this stuff is awesome! It was my first time making it, but I think it will be a hit with the kids. Here's the recipe for those of you who want to make it with your kids:
1. Mix together 3/4 cup warm water, 1 cup glue and several drops of green food coloring in the first bowl.
2. In the second bowl, mix together 4 teaspoons borax and 1 1/3 cups warm water.
3. Pour the contents of the first bowl into the second, but don't stir. Let it sit for 1 minute, then lift the now-congealed slime out of the bowl.
4. Divide slime so that each child has a piece to play with. The glue in slime can make it stick to certain fabrics. To minimize accidents, give each little monster a zip-top bag to store it in.
I must say Katelyn was better today (My friend's kids played with her and kept her entertained), but man it sure is exhausting trying to keep her from exploding at any minute!
