Why we LOVE this product!
Slime is one of those things kids never seem to get tired of, and this calendar leans into that. Instead of 24 near-identical surprises, it rotates through four distinct textures, crunchy, fluffy, glossy and stretchy, so each day feels different in your hands. That variety is what makes slime worth more than a quick squish: kids notice how each one behaves and start describing and comparing them.
It's also a genuinely calming activity. A few minutes of kneading and stretching is an easy way to wind down after school, without a screen.
Two things to weigh: slime is messy, so set up a play spot before day one, and with small charms inside it's not one for toddlers. For slime-loving kids, though, it's hard to think of an advent calendar they'd be more excited to open.
Description
SKU:
0850081595694
The Young + Wild and Friedman Sensory Slime Advent Calendar puts a different slime behind every door, 24 in all, so the countdown to Christmas becomes a month of hands-on sensory play. The mix covers four textures, crunchy, fluffy, glossy and stretchy, plus festive charms and add-ins to stir in.
What's inside
- 24 holiday-themed slimes
- A mix of crunchy, fluffy, glossy and stretchy textures
- Festive charms and add-ins to mix into the slimes
What kids get out of it
- Sensory exploration: comparing how each texture stretches, pops, crunches and holds its shape
- Fine motor skills: kneading, stretching and folding add-ins into the slime
- A calm-down activity: squishing slime is a popular screen-free way to unwind after school
- Anticipation: a new texture each day keeps the countdown interesting through all 24 days
Good to know before you buy
- Age: not for children under 3. Small parts are a choking hazard, so keep charms away from younger siblings.
- Ingredients: the maker doesn't list the slime ingredients online. If your child has sensitive skin or allergies, check the box before playing.
- Mess: slime and carpet or fabric don't mix. A tray or a washable table cover makes cleanup easy.
- Value: at $49.99 it works out to about $2 per slime.
- When to order: the countdown starts December 1, so order by mid-November to leave time for shipping.
Who it's for
Kids who already love slime, sensory seekers, and families who want an advent calendar with no candy that still feels like a treat every day.
