Take a walk with your child and bring along some chalk. When you stop, encourage your child to draw a shape or even a simple picture. This shows your little one fun, new ways to draw, write and explore.

 

How to Make Psylly Slime
SchoolCenter Picture
Metamucil is made from psyllium husks, which when immersed in a liquid, are capable of absorbing more than 10 times their volume. What you end up with is a mucilanginous gel (think Jell-O). Great slippery fun - just don't think too hard about the whole Metamucil thing.
 
In a plastic jar with a tight lid, have your child shake together the Metamucil and water for 1 minute.
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl and stir occasionally as it cools.
