Analise and I made green glitter slime as a craft today. She measured out water and clear glue and mixed them together in a bowl along with lots of glitter. She combined the glue mixture with liquid starch and stirred until it thickened. The rest of the lesson was spent stretching, pulling, cutting, and playing with the slime. Analise had so much fun with this activity while benefiting from sensory play. Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, social interaction, and allows her to use her creative thinking skills.
