TOY REVIEW: SO SLIME SENSATIONS SUGARY CRUSH MILKSHAKE DELUXE PACK

As a busy Mum to two children, I'm often desperately searching for good gift / toy ideas or inspiration for my kids. So with that in mind, I thought it would be helpful to occasionally feature some toy reviews on Daring Eileen . To make them as honest as possible, I've also got my daughter and son in on the action too. Over the summer we were kindly sent the 'SO SLIME SENSATIONS SUGARY CRUSH MILKSHAKE DELUXE PACK' to take a look at . Here is our feedback.

RECEIVED FOR REVIEW: This item was received in exchange for an honest review. A MUM'S VIEW

Admittedly, I'm not often a big fan of slime gifts in the house merely because I know it can end up anywhere! (I'm thinking carpets and clothing for starters!) But, I also know that both of my kids (daughter, 12 and son, 7) absolutely love the stuff and get a lot of enjoyment from playing with it, so sometimes we got to do what we go to do, right? And this kit was no exception. To my astonishment, it kept both of them entertained, together (!) for hours and not just for one time! I can think of at least 3 occasions, that they brought out the kit to play with.

The kit features a good selection of slime (different colours and textures) plus a varied assortment of 'decorations', tools and moulds. They loved the kit. (Even my eldest - whom at 12 I thought might be past playing with slime - how wrong I was!) Watching them play side by side, being creative and getting along was lovely to behold. So much so, that I was even known to occasionally get in on the action too and have a little play myself.

Do I recommend? Yes! Both of my kids really enjoyed it. (As long as you can deal with the possible 'stuck on soft furnishings' situation!) This kit retails around the £20 mark which I think is pretty good value for money, considering how much it offers.

KIDS' VIEW:

Getting my point of view is one thing, but let's be honest, when it comes to toys, it's what the kids' think that counts! Whilst my two children played with this kit, I gathered their feedback and this is what they said.

THE POSITIVES:

• Really good fun! Lots to play with and enough for both of us.

• We love the different colours and different slime textures and the decorations are amazing!

• The moulds were easy to use and fun and we had enough to share.

• We loved this kit!

  
  

ANY NEGATIVES?

• Only that that it can be a bit tricky to get the slime out the packets. (Younger children will therefore probably need a little bit of help.)

THEIR VERDICT

We loved it!

(They used it numerous times and got so much enjoyment from it, playing alongside each other and sharing the contents. Both of my children struggled to find anything negative to say about it which I think says it all and judging by how much fun they had, I'm guessing it won't be the last slime kit they use / request or perhaps buy from this brand in the future. Bravo to the manufacturers.)
