It felt wonderful to plunge our hands into and, sheer delight-OH-delight, to make squelchy rude noises with as well! (HUGE hilarity!) Into a clean bowl add 1 cup of the PVA glue and 1 teaspoon of the Bicarbonate of Soda. Mix them together. The good thing about making slime is that it doesn’t have to be too exact to still work, so there’s definite room for experimentation here!

Be your child's partner in play and get them ready for kindergarten! LEGO DUPLO WORLD supports Multi-Touch, so your family can play together and on the go for shared games, learning and adventures. With Easter fast approaching we made some very simple yet pretty Easter egg shaped cards using one of our favourite art methods, printing! Printmaking is so satisfying for young artists and depending on the materials used can create a huge range of effects very easily.

Pairing up the play with some reading of these fabulous digger books outside, would make the best playtime ever! I heard that adding shaving cream to the usual recipe would increase the volume of the slime and make it super fluffy to play with. Well, we had to experiment with that idea right away of course!

Gel food colouring (weirdly, we found liquid food colouring altered the recipe and stopped it working!) LEGO DUPLO WORLD is carefully aligned with the highly-regarded Headstart Early Learning Outcomes Framework to ensure it’s age-appropriate and meets the developmental needs of kids ages 2-5 years old. Each activity targets key learning goals for toddlers and preschool kids.Then they played the bunny eats the carrots game! Pinching the peg/ pin together strengthens the small hand muscles which are important in writing and other fine motor skill development. For older kids you could time the fine motor skills game using a mini sand timer or make two sets and race them against each other! To the gravel pit we added one set of gorgeous, small construction vehicles and a few larger pebbles and stones and that was all we needed for the play to begin! We coloured our fluffy slime recipe with pink food colouring and a huge heap of fine pink glitter too which added a little extra WOW!
