🫧 Activity Overview
In this imaginative and sensory-rich session, children will create their very own river diorama complete with a flowing slime lake. Using a combination of foil, homemade play dough, kinetic sand, rocks, and natural embellishments, participants will sculpt a realistic river landscape within a plastic container.
The session’s highlight is crafting a thick, blue slime that mimics the flow of water as it winds its way through valleys and pools into a shimmering lake. Children will layer materials to form their terrain, shape pathways, and embed details like miniature trees, moss, and pebbles to bring their landscapes to life.
This activity provides a fun and meaningful opportunity to explore how rivers shape the land while building creativity, fine motor skills, and an appreciation for natural systems.
