Slime is one of today’s most popular kids’ activities, and it’s easy to see why: it’s fun, it’s interactive, and it’s just plain cool! To make your St. Patrick’s Day even more spellbinding, why not make your very own DIY slime that you can dye, cut, stick, and paint with sparkly green hues and different shapes?
