Daily we take another step toward preparing to be "Karla's Kids" - quality, hands-on childcare for our granddaughter and her two cousins. We have just begun having Owen, our grandnephew, three days a week. He is so sweet and easy to care for that it hardly seems fair to charge for his care. :-)
I've started a new folder on my Google Drive of fun, hands-on ideas for kids. Here is one that I added today from the doTERRA essential oil monthly newsletter. In the last year, I have become an essential oil user with some great results and some benign results but I will blog about that at another time.
"Slime time is play time! This non-toxic slime is always a hit with kids. A mixture between a solid and a liquid, this slime is great entertainment for any event."
What You Need:
2 cups arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
1 – 1.5 cups water
1 teaspoon dried herbs for color (optional)
3 drops of your favorite essential oil
Directions:
1. Add arrowroot powder into a shallow dish.
2. Add dried herbs (for color) and combine.
Tip: Use spirulina powder for green slime or beet root powder for red slime.
3. Add essential oil.
4. Slowly add water until it resembles slime when lifted out of the dish. It will feel hard in the dish but will turn liquid when picked up. Enjoy and have fun with your Essential Slime!
