Hi! The weekend is coming, are you ready for 30 minutes of presence with your kids?
Yes it will...get a lot messy today but it’s a very easy mess to clean so don’t worry ;)
For kids age 2 (that dossent put or try to eat new things…its not dangours put raw starch can give severe constipation!)
Needed
- 1 cup Corn starch
- 1/4 cup Water…shouldn’t be like milk..if that happens add more cornstarch
- A big bowl
Instructions for the kids
Let them make the mixture, pooring in water in the Cornstarch and stire with their hands ..And then just let them play with it, instruct them to make a big ball and skwis it and see what happens!
OBS! This is not the time to teach the sience behind supersmall particles…all though I know its tempting, How ever if the child ask you can just search about cornstarch and water and find a lot of interesting information, later!
Instructions for you
Set a timer for 30 minutes. Take a deep breath... Listen to the sounds in the room, look at your children, are they enjoying it, do they like to get their hands messy? How is the energy in the room, does it feel tense or relaxed. Just join in and play…feel the sensation of the slim dripping on your hand.
Motivation tip: Let your kid drip the slime on your hand while you try to catch it, kids love to play with you.
When I did this with my two kids, six and two…the six year old was engaged for about 10 minuts, but my two year old was sitting at the kitchen bench holding calmly her slimball for 30 minutes.
Notice, now after 30 minutes, How do you feel? Did you talk with your kids in a different way? Do you feel more connected?
Thank you for taking the time and until next time breath a little
Love and light Kristin
