Ingredients

In order to make this sensory experience you will need the following supplies:

• 11/3 c. water
  
• 1 c. clear glue
• Food coloring (optional)
• 1 c. concentrated liquid starch
• 1 tsp. basil seeds
• Bowls
• Measuring Cups
• Whisk
• Green foam sheets
• A rubber frog life cycle set or other pond animals

Directions

1. First we are going to make our "Pond" slime base. To do this, mix 1 c. water, and 1 c. clear glue in a bowl.

2. Add food coloring. We used 3 drops of green, and 2 drops of neon green.

3. Add 1 c. liquid starch to your water/glue mixture and brisky stir for about 2 minutes, until all of the ingredients have been mixed together.  You should be able to stretch it to see that your slime has formed. Let it sit while you make the "frog eggs" add-in.

4. Now we are going to make our "Frog Eggs". Start by, pouring your basil seeds into a separate bowl.

5. Slowly add 1/3 c. clear (or dyed) water to the bowl

6. Let your basil seeds sit, until they have absorbed the water and formed a Frog Egg like consistency.

7. Now it's time to pour your pond slime and frog eggs into a sensory bin. Use your hands to mix them together!

8. Lastly add foam lily pads and rubber frogs to your pond sensory bin.

Consider discussing:

• How frog eggs are called spawn.
• How frogs lay their eggs in the water, and the eggs will hatch into legless tadpoles (sometimes called pollywogs).
  
• The different stages in the frogs life cycle.
• The other types of animals that live in a pond.
• How frogs catch their food and what types of food they eat (frogs use their tongues to catch their food, and they are carnivores).
