After you have looked over the Slime-Free Spring Break PDF, use these shopping lists to help you gather the supplies you need. Many of these items can be purchased on Amazon, and I included my affiliate link* to any applicable items. If you have Amazon Prime, you can wait until 2 days before Spring Break to order these items! Procrastinators, rejoice!
Ambiance
