What you’ll need: white glue, lotion, foaming hand soap, Borax and water mixture as activator, and air dry clay (any color).

This activity is an example of sensory mindfulness or the active practice of engaging and focusing fully on our senses. Sensory mindfulness has been scientifically shown to help regulate our nervous system and improve our overall well-being. If you are able to try this activity, let me know how it goes!
