Inspired by the mesmerizing glow of bioluminescent plankton lighting up the ocean at night, the Glow Tide Slime workshop lets kids create their own glowing masterpiece. Starting with a deep navy or near-black base, they’ll add shimmer, glow pigments, and textures step by step. The result is a glossy, smooth slime that glows naturally in the dark, mimicking the coastal glow of the shoreline.
Kids follow step-by-step instructions to see how their slime transforms, from a dramatic, glossy base to a glowing, bioluminescent-inspired creation. Each step allows for personal choices, like glow intensity and textures, ensuring every slime is one of a kind.
Glow Tide Slime is all about smooth texture, rich color, and a magical glow. By day, it’s dark and dramatic with a glossy finish. By night, it releases a soft, natural glow that feels like the ocean coming to life.
All materials are provided, and the slime is made during the session and packed in a take-home container at the end.
