In this sensory-filled workshop, young scientists will dig into a real pumpkin to learn about their life cycle and discover the slimy insides—seeds and all. Then, follow step-by-step instructions to mix up two batches of slime: one made with real pumpkin pulp, and another “party slime” in a color and scent of their choice.

The 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.
