Michaels is hosting a MAKE break Slime Your Heart Out [3] event dedicated to the squishy goo, and you know your kid will want to go! On Feb. 9, head to your local Michaels from 1-3 p.m. for a fun-filled afternoon of glittery mix-ins. If you're on the fence about bringing your little one to the event, consider this: you won't have to clean anything up [4]!
