Insect Slime Recipe for Kids
This insect slime recipe is a winner for kids. It's stretchy, sparkly . . . and goopy and green. My kids have been obsessed with this slime since we made it. Bug slime is a perfect addition to that insect unit you're doing this spring. Maybe it's butterflies, or darkwing beetles, or maybe we can just stick with butterflies.
Either way, kids love squishing this slime, and finding all the little fake bugs hiding in the goopy goo, and you'll love how easy it is to make. Searching for more insect activities? Check out all these Bug Activities for Kids.
