I have been playing with slime all morning — in the car, at my desk. It’s bright, clammy, jiggly and mushy. It’s what Melissa Wright, owner of The Lab at Lake Highlands, calls a multi-sensory experience. The Lab is sort of like a science classroom, but bigger and more colorful and way more fun. Wright hosts polymer parties where kids make their own slime (“I have a great slime recipe,” Wright says) and putty. The idea here is that, without realizing it, kids learn and want to learn more.
During winter break, keep the little ones entertained and stimulated at The Lab’s mini camp:
