Dabbing with slime

We attempted to make slime today - it was definitely slimy! But the food colouring was also pretty potent! They used it more like paint to smear all over their legs and then arms, with dots on their faces...

I had to soak them in a warm, deep, soapy bath for quite a while to get them back to something resembling their normal skin colour.

Talking of skin colour - thought this was a good, true and sad essay by Toni Morrison who has just passed away.
