While I was making the video, I was snickering so badly I thought the camera would shake!

Inside Out Slime
If you're game, you can up this ridiculously easy slime activity for the kids, too. It's a really quick activity because, well, I needed something quick.
- Make this fluffy slime recipe.
- Expand some water beads.
- Watch the hilarity ensue as the kids finagle the water beads into the slime.
