I scream, you scream, we all scream, so maybe it’s time to try a nice, quiet, sensory activity?
This melted ice cream look-alike slime comes together quickly, and keeps well in an airtight container or zip-top bag. We add glitter and styrofoam beads to ours, but you and your child should feel free to experiment with mix-ins! (Just remember — slime isn't edible, so no one should try to actually eat it!)
