It’s a gross mess but slime is beneficial for kids.
By Charlie Lee, Lifestyle Editor & Products Tester
My niece loves her do it yourself slime sets. Her favorite ones include many colors and makes a funny farting noise. She gets rewarded a slime set for good grades earned in school. She has a whole chemistry set involving plastic containers, coloring fluids, glue and powders which are meticulously mixed together to form a slime. One of the kits she raves about is the Elmer’s Glue Slime Starter kit. This is an educational toy too. It is lots of fun and can be an excellent incentive to boost your kid’s grades up, when gifted as a reward for a job well done in school.

While the recipe process can be horrifying to parents, the truth is playing with slime is beneficial for the kids in my family. It’s an amazing, de-stressifying, tactile sensory experience for kids. Slime also bolster mindfulness, helps children focus, encourages kids to play independently, stimulates fine motor skills, and is calming/satisfying. The grown-ups in my family love it when they have time for work during quarantine, while the kids are concentrating on their slime projects.

--- I'm a super mom, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and an awesome BFF. I stay organized, thanks to my wireless assistant: smartphone, tablets, and laptop. In addition to beauty, fashion, technology and traveling, I love arts & culture, food/wine, and indulge in very much needed "me" time whenever humanly possible! Dining out, cooking/entertaining family and friends throughout the year makes me happy. I'm addicted to shopping in order to have whatever required to compliment my every mood. I enjoy a good jog, especially after a challenging work day so I can release endorphins. A great session on the treadmill or bike makes me smile from cheek to cheek, no matter how stressful of a day I had!
When I'm home and after my family and pets are asleep, I pamper myself with a facial mask, hair treatment and lose myself in an aromatherapy bubble bath. It's like being on a dreamy spa getaway -- till the family wakes up and it's time for me to feed the kids, walk the dogs, to go work...
I just loving sharing new finds with all those who have the desire to discover the best of the best that life has to offer!
