In occupational therapy we love to explore and create! Here’s what we are up to this week:  Halloween is here, which means it’s time to make….

LAVA SLIME

Ingredients:

1. 5 oz. bottle of Elmer’s clear school glue
2. 1 TB liquid watercolors
3. 1 TB red color
4. 3oz. Sta-flo liquid starch

Instructions:

1. Be sure to add the glue first
2. Then mix in the liquid watercolors (food coloring works, as well).
3. Slowly add in the liquid starch, stirring well along the way.
4. Knead the slime for a minute or two, then check the stickiness and stretch.  (If more starch is needed, be sure to add it in a tablespoon at a time and knead together.)
