Kids Ooey Gooey Science

9.7.22-Looking for an entertaining, easy, and educational activity to do with your kids at home? The Camas Public Library has lots of fun, hands-on science books. Creating food science, making slime, and other squishy and gooey experiments come with easy-to-follow instructions. Many require ingredients you’re likely to already have on hand. Recently, my kids and I explored many of these recipes, and I hope you get a chance to as well. Check out the below books that we used to make sparkle and magnetic slime, measure and track marshmallow sizes, make slime eggs, and make glittery bath putty. Have fun!
