Baby Bags Slime Exploration

• Large ziplock bag
• ¼ teaspoon water beads
• Slime (we recommend the Sparkly Slime)
• Duct Tape

Sparkly Slime Recipe
Mix equal parts clear school glue, water and liquid starch along with several drops of food coloring and a few shakes of glitter. Combine well until it turns into slime.

1. Use the Sparkly Slime recipe to create slime, but this time omit the food coloring and glitter.
2. Hydrate the water beads the night before.
3. Combine the slime and water beads in the ziplock bag, press the air out of the bag and zip it shut.
4. Next, use the duct tape to seal all four sides of the bag.
5. Invite the child to experience the squish and the feel of the slime with the water beads. Encourage the comparison of feeling the slime by itself and some slime with water beads.

Caution:  ​This sensory bag should be provided with supervision. Do not place the bag in a crib, or playpen.  
​Check the back for tears, or leaks each time before allowing the child to touch the bag.  Don't allow the child to bite the bag.
