Learn about the amazing adaptations of snails and explore how these gastropods use slime to get around. Use these animals as inspiration as we mix up our own snail-inspired slime recipes. Practice measuring and following step-by-step instructions and get messy in this hands-on workshop. Each child participant will create one snail-inspired batch of slime complete with a snail friend and a second batch in a color and scent of their choosing. Our slime recipe uses non-toxic ingredients including liquid glue, baking soda, contact solution, food coloring, glitter, and essential oils. Adult helpers are strongly encouraged for children under the age of 6. Price includes admission to the garden and the cost of materials.

Please note this class is geared toward children with or without their adult companions.
