Tie Dye Slime Machine

Product Information

The only thing not included is the dye, but Rit Dye sells individual colours separately and offers a huge range. We went for aquamarine, but you could buy as many as you like (bearing in mind you have three squeezy bottles). As you can buy liquid dye that comes premixed there’s not too much faff, and we got brilliant colours that lasted well.

Today’s project is the first science experimentof the Arm & Hammer Summer Camp!I’ve had the pleasure of being a part ofthisfantastic summer resource as the science counselor! Mix only two primary colors together at a time. This turns this into a color mixing experiment! You will end up with secondary colors in lieu of gray.You also might need about half a dozen marbles if you choose the marble-made circular design. [4] X Research source There’s so much dye in this kit we were able to have a mini tie-dyeing party with our little testers. As you have to leave the dye to set for 6-8 hours, it makes a good pre-sleepover activity, if you can bear the extra chaos. With so many colours to choose from, our testers were able to really let loose with their creative flair.

There is so much science in slime making that I wrote a post about it! Go here to read the post in its entirety. The top science fact about slime that I love to point out to kids is that slime is a non-Newtonian fluid, that means it is a liquid which changes its behavior depending on the pressure applied to it. The more you press it into a ball, it will behave like a solid, let it sit in your hand and it will soften and flow off your palm like a liquid. The Art If a tie-dye kit is targeted at children, then testing is mainly done by that age group, while considering the level of adult supervision required. (If dealing with permanent dye, we suggest a parent is on hand, even with more able children.) Finally, we take note of the vibrancy of the dyes and quality of all the elements that make up the kit. How do I keep slime from getting EVERYWHERE? This is the question I hear most frequently from parents about slime. Here are our tips:

Pour 4 ounces of liquid glue into a mixing bowl. Use a different bowl for each color you are making. I suggest starting with the primary colors Slime may stain skin/fabrics - It is recommended that children wear overalls or old clothes whilst using this product and any soft furnishings / carpets are protected.
