Halloween

Let’s get messy! In occupational therapy we have a few good and gooey reasons to make slime!

Introducing different textures in a fun way can help some kids improve their tolerance to wet and sticky textures. When your child can tolerate other wet and squishy textures such as finger paint and playdough, making slime may be a fun thing to try.
