Review:
This is a fun book with enough variations on slime to keep your kids busy. HOWEVER, you do need to lay some supplies in beforehand, so they CAN use the different recipes in the book! The book has different types of slime, sorted by sections: Starter Slimes (basic slimes that start with a saline solution activator), Next Level Slimes (which also includes a safe to taste slime with GUMMY bears made using cornstarch, and a color changing one!), and a section for your kids to create their OWN recipes!
This last section also included a sheet about how to solve slime problem (which Miss Grace found VERY helpful!), secrets to getting the different types of slimes (ie fluffy versus stretchy), and a section for your kids to record their attempts and note section for what went wrong and how to fix recipe in the future, making this one very interactive book! Your kids will also appreciate the close up colored pictures for every recipe, so they know exactly what the slime they are working on should look like! Miss Grace gives it a solid 5 stars out of 5, and put it as good for kids of all ages, though younger ones will need help and supervision.
