Being a homeschool family we do alot of crafts. One of our favorite crafts to do is make homemade slime. We love candy so one of our favorites is Candy Slime. Here’s the recipe I use. Please keep in mind  while the name has candy in it it is in no way edible so DO NOT EAT.  If you really love homemade fun and have a kiddo who puts everything in their mouth check out our recipe for Homemade Edible Playdoh.
