I made green tapioca slime for mindees to play with today...
which me and dd love...she is still playing with it
Well at first it was a big hit and I hid some coins in it and whoever got the most out won some sweeties.
then LO A 6 yrs asked if he could taste some..I said well it wont taste nice because it is only made with water and food colouring and ..but he licked it anyways...(should have said no in the first place because of the coins I added...not that he would have eaten them but they are not clean I dont think)...anyways,..he licked some and hated the taste...so he said he needed to get the slime off his hands asap as it was so horribel...he was loving it a minute earlier...so he washed it off and was nearly in tears..(he is very sensitive that way and the slightest thing makes him cry..even at home with mum)
LO B 8 yrs continued playing with the slime as she said she loved it...she then asked if she can put it on like a face mask to be a scary green monster...so I said why not...so she did ...we got some great pics done and she was happy...she then put her hand onto LO A's face...that sent him off crying again...so I thought I let her put some in my face to show him it is ok...so he was laughing again..and taking some slime himself again to put in my face...got some more great pics taken and then washed it all off....
I thought we could move on to the next activity...but they were obsessed with washing it off....the stuff obviously dries on a bit..but comes off very easily with water...but LO B said ..it is sore to wash it off...so LO A said ..oh yeah I am sore too..even though he didnt have any on anymore...He actually copies everything LO B does...
anyways..he had some on his T Shirt so started crying when he said it is drying in on his T Shirt...at that point I was quite annoyed as I didnt see the issue with why it is upsetting when it is on the T shirt.....
the whole thing just was a nightmare...
I would have stopped the slime play earlier if I thought it was going to make them upset (more ackward in my mind anyways...) but they kept having fun with it and then turned back to complaining and crying...
WHY???
