This slime looks shimmery because of the gold leaf sheets that are pressed into the slime. The blue green color looks just like a mermaid tail and for all the mermaid fans in your home this is the perfect craft activity. My daughter has been playing with this beautiful slime non-stop for days!

We have been hit with the slime bug for sure! We now have been making a different slime recipe each day and we can not wait to share our new creations with you! Embrace the creative slime frenzy and bond with your children over the process of making slime. I had my daughters undivided attention for a few hours while we made slime and talked. It really was a great activity and we had so much  playing and experimenting with slime.
