Watermelon slime

No food says “summer” quite as much as watermelon. This messy outdoor project puts the rind to good use, allowing you to use the entire sweet, sticky fruit. With just three ingredients, your kids can whip up a batch of slime unlike any other. The watermelon juice gives the slime a lovely scent, and they’ll love mixing and squeezing the slime right inside a melon. Just be ready to hose them down, this project is sticky! Head to Learn Play Imagine for the details.
