Tie Dye Slime Machine

Product Information

Mix only two primary colors together at a time. This turns this into a color mixing experiment! You will end up with secondary colors in lieu of gray. This kit is a great introduction to tie-dye for kids, but it does rely heavily on adult help. We liked that the dye was resealable so we didn’t have to use it all in one go, and there’s plenty of it, too! Today’s project is the first science experimentof the Arm & Hammer Summer Camp!I’ve had the pleasure of being a part ofthisfantastic summer resource as the science counselor!

Collect the supplies you’ll need for your project. Tie-dyeing is a messy activity, so you’ll want to set up a work area that allows you leeway for working with colored dye and, generally speaking, making a mess! There’s so much dye in this kit we were able to have a mini tie-dyeing party with our little testers. As you have to leave the dye to set for 6-8 hours, it makes a good pre-sleepover activity, if you can bear the extra chaos. With so many colours to choose from, our testers were able to really let loose with their creative flair. Add a few drops of food coloring and 1 tablespoon of ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda to each bowl. Mix well. There is so much science in slime making that I wrote a post about it! Go here to read the post in its entirety. The top science fact about slime that I love to point out to kids is that slime is a non-Newtonian fluid, that means it is a liquid which changes its behavior depending on the pressure applied to it. The more you press it into a ball, it will behave like a solid, let it sit in your hand and it will soften and flow off your palm like a liquid. The Art FULL DISCLOSURE ON THE COLORS: When mixing 3 or more more colors your slime will go from colorful to gray in a matter of minutes. It’s still a cool effect but if you want to get the most color fun out of your slime I suggest the following:Unwanted Food or Drink Products - Once supply conditions are broken, there are a number of factors outside of our control that can affect the quality of a product. Therefore perishable goods such as food and drink cannot be returned. Wear rubber gloves. They’ll protect your hands from the dye and also the hot water.

Vinegar is the #1 thing I use to remove slime. I’ve used it on carpet, clothing, table tops, shoes,and even hair! If you can get to the slime before it dries you’ll have a better chance of removing it. If the slime has dried, soak the area in vinegar for a few minutes before trying to rub the slime off using a rag

For reasons of hygiene and safety, personal grooming products, cosmetics or items of intimate clothing cannot be returned.Slime may stain skin/fabrics - It is recommended that children wear overalls or old clothes whilst using this product and any soft furnishings / carpets are protected. The best tie-dye kits you can buy in 2023 1. Hobbycraft Tie-Dye Bumper Box Kit: Best large tie-dye kit Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. Do not place material in the mouth. Do not ingest putty. In case of ingestion, seek medical attention.

Remove each color of slime from each bowl and place on a baking sheet or tray. Stretch different color slimes side by side Mix the tie dye slime in small batches. Use a small chunk of each color and mix it together to get the effect then save the individual colors for more slime play.The only thing not included is the dye, but Rit Dye sells individual colours separately and offers a huge range. We went for aquamarine, but you could buy as many as you like (bearing in mind you have three squeezy bottles). As you can buy liquid dye that comes premixed there’s not too much faff, and we got brilliant colours that lasted well. If a tie-dye kit is targeted at children, then testing is mainly done by that age group, while considering the level of adult supervision required. (If dealing with permanent dye, we suggest a parent is on hand, even with more able children.) Finally, we take note of the vibrancy of the dyes and quality of all the elements that make up the kit. You also might need about half a dozen marbles if you choose the marble-made circular design. [4] X Research source
