How to Make Banana Slime - Easy Kids Craft
What Are the Benefits of Letting Kids Play with Slime?
Slime is a great sensory activity for kids. It's tactile and slimy, and it can be very therapeutic to play with. Slime is also a great way to encourage fine motor skills and creative thinking. And best of all, it's really easy to make!
What Is Slime?
Slime is a non-toxic, viscous substance made from water and glue. Borax or liquid starch is often added to slime recipes to give it a more solid consistency. Slime can be tinted with food coloring, glitter, or other craft supplies to make it more fun.
How Long Does Banana Slime Last?
Banana slime will last for several weeks if stored in a sealed container. Slime can also be frozen for longer storage.
Do Kids Need to Wash Their Hands After Playing with Slime?
Yes, kids should wash their hands after playing with slime. Slime can be difficult to remove from clothing, so it's a good idea to wear old clothes when playing with it.
How Do You Remove Slime from Clothes or Hair?
To remove slime from clothes, soak the item in warm water for a few minutes. Then, use a brush or your fingers to rub the slime off of the fabric. To remove slime from hair, try using a comb or brushing it out with your fingers. If you aren't having a lot of success with just the warm water, you can use vinegar. I prefer to use white vinegar so there is no chance of staining.
