How to Make Fluffy Slime

How to make 3-ingredient Fluffy Slime without borax! | spiritedandthensome.com

This 3-ingredient Fluffy Slime recipe without borax is our family's favorite slime recipe! And once you get going, the process becomes a cinch! I first discovered this borax-free Fluffy Slime at our local library. Parents and kids were hunched over craft tables, kneading their sticky slime into a fluffy wonderland of joy. It was a hot mess, and all I can say is we endured, then we played, and now we’re living to tell about it. At first, I thought Fluffy Slime was a bit too messy to enjoy ... continue reading...

Holiday Sensory Play Activities

Winter wonderland decorations for loose parts sensory play and holiday sensory play activities! | spiritedandthensome.com

Gluten-Free Playdough

Toodle plays with cookie cutters and Gluten-Free Playdough! | spiritedandthensome.com

Spiriteds, I have never loved playdough. It crumbles. I find it on the floor, in between my toes, and ground into the kitchen floor grout. I would rather step on a LEGO than clean up playdough.

Lately, we’ve been getting super crazy in our ... continue reading...
