How Does This Slime Help Teach About the Arctic?

This slime is a great way to teach kids about the Arctic. The white color represents the snow, while the blocks of sponge represents the ice. The penguins are a fun way to represent the animals that live in the Arctic.

It's not a direct correlation, to be sure, but it is a great conversation starter and, if I've learned anything, it's that kids learn best when they have a manipulative or other touchable item to help tie their "lesson" to their memory.
