Let’s be honest, the idea of making a gooey mess doesn’t fill my heart with joy. It makes me nervous about the holy terror of glitter that is about to be unleashed onto the world. Fortunately, this kit is made ready to go. The slime is already made in individual containers and there are a ton of sparkly options to add to the goo. Meghan is a genius and she put down a tray to contain as much of the glitter as possible. This really helped provide a defined space for Adelaide to smush all of it together. Once she finished, we passed the tray over to her brother to do the same thing.

So, big props to my sister for giving this gift to Adelaide. The kids had an absolute blast. They were smashing it, covering their hand, and stretching it like there was no tomorrow. The kids were literally standing on chairs to see how far they could stretch it. Adelaide actually touched the light fixture with it. I know, it’s surprising that my “don’t stand on chairs” feelings didn’t get expressed verbally, so I’ll take a point for letting my kids be kids. Something, admittedly, I need to do a better job at.

This was a perfect gift. Adelaide mixed blue and purple together, and then added some glitter. She let Marshall have the sparkling (and less sticky) yellow and he chose larger confetti to mix in. The result was at least an hour of them smashing, stretching, and squeezing it into containers and laughing at the “fart” noises. They were very happy with their noises.
