First lady Melania Trump visited with sick patients at Children's National hospital in Washington on Thursday as the children made Fourth of July arts and crafts ahead of the holiday.
Trump, continuing a tradition of support by first ladies for the pediatric care center, also stopped by the hospital's rooftop "healing" garden she dedicated during the first Trump administration to first ladies of the United States.
The first lady decorated rocks for the garden with the children, drawing a red heart on one. A few kids played with stretchy slime while Trump engaged them in questions.
"Wow, that's a big slime!" she told one child that was more focused on stretching the sticky goo.
Trump gave each of the children gift bags with blankets and teddy bears that had shirts reading, "Be Best," her campaign focused on children's well-being.
