Baby Bags Slime Exploration

Please provide appropriate supervision to the children in your care when completing all activities. You will need to decide what types of activities are safe for the children in your care.  Appropriate and reasonable caution should be used when providing art and sensory experiences for children.

CDA Competency Standard:   
II.4.3a
Baby Bags Slime Exploration

Activities and materials encourage children to develop their senses.

• a) Sight, sound, smell, taste and touch experiences are encouraged through a variety of developmentally appropriate materials and activities

Materials:  

• Large ziplock bag
• ¼ teaspoon water beads
• Slime (we recommend the Sparkly Slime)
• Duct Tape

Procedure: 

• Use the Sparkly Slime recipe to create slime, but this time omit the food coloring and glitter.
• Hydrate the water beads the night before.
• Combine the slime and water beads in the ziplock bag, press the air out of the bag and zip it shut.
• Next, use the duct tape to seal all four sides of the bag.
• Invite the child to experience the squish and the feel of the slime with the water beads. Encourage the comparison of feeling the slime by itself and some slime with water beads.

Caution:  
​This sensory bag should be provided with supervision. Do not place the bag in a crib, or playpen.  
​Check the back for tears, or leaks each time before allowing the child to touch the bag.  Don't allow the child to bite the bag.

Assessment:  

• Observe and record the child’s experience with the materials. Did the child have a preference when comparing? How did the child react to the feel of the material?
