5 Benefits of Playing with Slime

Slime-making has been around for a long time, but it had a burst of popularity in the late 2010s. It got so inventive that a simple slime recipe turned into so much more. While the recipe process can be unnerving, the truth is that playing with slime is beneficial for kids. Not only is it an amazing, tactile sensory experience, it also promotes mindfulness, helps children focus, encourages them to play independently, promotes fine motor skills, and is calming.
