Residents and schoolchildren united for slime-making fun at a Malpas care home.

Prospect House Care Home were treated to a visit from school children from Malpas Alport School, who arrived with one mission: to share the squishy, squashy fun of slime-making with their older friends.

The care home’s dining room was transformed into a craft hub as the children, armed with the materials guided residents through the gooey process of creating homemade slime.

For the children of Malpas Alport School, the experience was equally impactful.

Mrs Wetton, Headmistress at Malpas Alport School, said: “The children loved making slime, it was a chance to get messy and share their knowledge and enthusiasm; we can’t wait to come back.”

The tactile experience brought back memories for some and created new ones for others.
