Welcome to day 12 of 31 Awesome Days of Fall Activities with your Kids. This post will show you How to Make Easy DIY Glow in the Dark Glitter Slime at home. Slime is a pretty popular item these days, especially DIY slime at home. My daughter and I have made this slime recipe several times and she will usually play with it for a couple of hours after we make it. We love doing projects or activities during the weekend. It’s a fun way to bond and let my daughter show her creativity while learning!
Making slime is one of my daughter’s favorite activities we do together. I think she enjoys the feel of it between her fingers. She will set at the table and play with it for hours. Sometimes she will get some of her small plastic toys and have them join in on the slime fun.
TIP: When you make your slime, make sure your work surface is covered with a tablecloth. Slime is sticky and may leave a sticky residue behind. You may also put an apron on your child or put them in old play clothes.
