If you have a child in the house between the ages of 6-12, chances are you’re pretty familiar with slime.
Both of my kids have been obsessed with this ooey-gooey concoction of glue, water and an activating substance for the past year. While store-bought, premade slime is fun and virtually mess-free, nothing gets them more excited than the DIY kind—because what kid doesn’t like to get their hands dirty—literally?
That’s why they were beyond thrilled when we received the Craft City Make-Your-Own Slime Kit for them to try.
As soon as my 8-year-old daughter saw the box, her happy meter hit an all-time high. “That’s Karina Garcia from YouTube,” she exclaimed. Right then, I knew she was in for an amusing afternoon.
After marveling at the box’s cover star whose known for her knack for kids’ crafts, she immediately ripped open the package and got busy.
The kit, which includes everything they’ll need to get slimey, is jam-packed with kid-friendly customizable add-ons. From glitter-flecked to glow-in-the-dark slime, Craft City makes creating unique blends safe and easy.
Plus, the instructions are super comprehensible and simple. Sure, we parents can oversee the slime-making process, but my kids didn’t require much assistance from me. Creating the slime by themselves gave them a confidence-boosting sense of independence that young kids crave.
If you’re looking for a fun and engaging way to get your kids off their tablets and enthusiastic about science, a DIY slime kit is the perfect project.
