All-natural slimy fun

Children love slime. With its special consistency, it captivates children and offers them many different ways to play and experiment thanks to its malleability. Slime appeals to several senses through its color, smell, texture and the sounds you can make with it. Playing with slime is not only a sensory experience for children, but also good for their fine motor skills. And by kneading it, children can even relieve tension.

Children can spend hours working with slime. They knead and shape the slime. They throw the slime up and catch it again. They hide small objects in the slime or make art out of slime.

Make your own slime together with your child using natural ingredients.
