Last weekend, Mellody Farm partnered up with Kids Science Labs to host a sold out, family-friendly “Virtual Slime Lab” event. The private online Zoom session, which took place on Saturday, August 8 at 10 a.m., incorporated slime-making ingredients from “science kits,” which were distributed free of charge to the first 100 families who registered for the event, and available for purchase for the remaining 50.
In addition to slime, lab goggles, and polymers that grow a volcano in a cup, the Virtual Slime Lab kits included a number of fun at-home science experiments as well as exclusive offers from various Mellody Farm merchants.
