What are slime toys for?

For children, this toy is both fun and a good simulator for the development of imagination and fine motor skills. Children come up with a variety of activities with him. For example:

• throw them against the wall, sticking toy insects to it, and watch them slowly "crawl" down;
• pour the slime on the table from a jar and blow bubbles out of them through a straw;
• draw on different surfaces, drawing slimes into disposable syringes (without needles);
• throw them at each other, etc.

The main thing is that children's imagination is inexhaustible, and with slime, children will always find something to do with themselves in self-isolation.
