Slime Making Club
Mix, stretch, squish, experiment and create! 🌈👐✨
Our Slime Club is a fun, hands-on and creative club where children can explore the fascinating world of slime! Each session gives children the opportunity to make and experiment with different types, colours, textures and styles of slime, while learning about the science behind how slime is created.
Children will have the chance to get creative with their own slime recipes, add colours, textures and decorations, and take part in exciting slime challenges.

📚 What learning takes place?
Slime Club provides opportunities to explore science, maths, creativity and practical skills.
Children will learn that slime is created when ingredients interact to produce a material with different properties from the starting ingredients. They will explore how changing quantities or ingredients can affect the texture, stretchiness, thickness and behaviour of the slime.
Children will develop early scientific enquiry skills by making predictions, following a method, observing changes and discussing their results.
There are also opportunities to develop maths skills, including measuring quantities, comparing amounts and following ratios or simple recipes.
The sensory nature of slime encourages children to explore texture, movement and physical properties, while creative activities allow them to experiment with colour and design.
Children will develop problem-solving skills by investigating what happens when a slime mixture doesn't turn out as expected and considering how it might be adjusted.
Working together also supports communication, cooperation, turn-taking and teamwork.
🧪 Science has never been so much fun!
Slime Club gives children the chance to get hands-on with science while creating colourful, stretchy and exciting slime. With different recipes, textures and themes to explore, every session offers something new to mix, make and discover!
💷 Fee: Block bookings are £6.25 per week or ad-hoc bookings are £7.00 per session
📌 Spaces: Limited spaces available – early booking is recommended.
Slime recipes, colours, textures and activities will vary from session to session. All materials will be age-appropriate and used under appropriate supervision. Slime is for craft and sensory play and is not edible.
