Interesting Applications of Slime

Fluffy slime is not just a fun activity but also a great way to introduce children to the basics of chemistry. It teaches them about the interaction of substances like glue, activators, and shaving cream to form a new material. The fluffy texture also makes it a perfect sensory play tool, which helps with developing motor skills and concentration.

In science classes, slime can be used to demonstrate the properties of polymers - chains of molecules that give slime its stretchiness!
