So Slime Tie-Dye Kit Review

amomentwithfranca · 7 August 2020 · 20 Comments

My girls are obsessed with slime. They love it and they are always trying to make their own mixes and spend hours playing with it. I personally don’t love slime so much because I can see it everywhere in the house but I know it stimulates them and gets them entertained so I am happy for them to play with it. We recently received a new product from Canal Toys which the girls were so excited to open. It is the So Slime Tie-Dye kit which looks great so I was looking forward to seeing them playing with it.

 

The girls were very curious about this kit and they wanted to know how the whole process works, so they were desperate to get started with their creations mixing and adding some colour and glitter to their slime.

The good thing about this kit is that it comes with ready-made slime so they don’t need to prepare the slime which means less mess to deal with. This is for sure a great feature. All they need to do is add the scented colours and glitter.

Content

The So Slime Tie-Dye kit contained:

  • 1x transparent slime pot
  • 2x resealable transparent slime packets
  • 3x bottles of scented colours
  • 3x sachets of glitter
  • 1x stirrer
  • 1x instructions

How It Works

Getting ready

Before you start, it could be a good idea to protect the surface where you will be doing it because the colourants may stain certain surfaces and skin. We didn’t do that and had to clean the table. Also, it is important to keep the slime inside the plastic containers or sealed plastic bags to avoid them drying out.

The girls tried different colours each so they got different designs. They have scented colours to choose from: red with strawberry scent, blue with pineapple scent and yellow with a vanilla scent. It is best if you only use a little amount so you can get better bright colours. If you use too much it gets very dark.

Mixing

Stirring the colourants

Adding the glitter

Sienna’s first design

This is what happened with Sienna’s first design. She used blue and red colours but she put a lot so her design looked dark but it was still pretty. She also added the pink glitter. She enjoyed mixing her first design.

Bella is older so she followed the instructions better than Sienna and she stretched her slime a few times. You can divide the slime into 2 to make separate colours. Then you draw thin lines with the colourant on the slime surface.

The transparent slime provided is great because it is not runny which is less messy and easier to tidy after using it.

They provide a stirrer which you should use to help you to fold over the slime to trap the colourant inside. When you add the glitter you can use the stirrer to fold in the glitter too.

Stirring the colourants

Bella’s first design

Once you have mixed them all, then slowly stretch the slime. This way the colours transform into a tie-dye effect! The results are very cool!

Both very pleased with their creations

My girls tried different combinations of colours and glitter creating a few different designs. They absolutely loved the results.

The glitter was a little bit messy because it comes in a sachet instead of a pot so once you open it then it’s not possible to close and easily keep for later. What we did was to pour the glitter into empty pots that we previously had. This was helpful.

Our Thoughts

Bella’s second design

Sienna’s second design

The girls had a really fun afternoon playing with the So Slime Tie-Dye Kit. They loved discovering the new colours that were appearing from their slimes. They were gorgeous. We all loved it! The girls were very pleased with their creations. They put them safely in pots with lids so they were able to play with them any time they fancy.

There are a few So Slime kits available but this one is easier to use and overall less messy than other kits we have tried before. The price for the So Slime Tie-Dye Kit is £10. You can purchase the So Slime Tie-Dye kit from all good toy shops such as Amazon.

Do your kids love to play with slime too? What do you think of this kit?

    They’re so obsessed with slime – it’s weird. We have tonnes of it that my youngest makes at the good mum’s house. This slack mum refuses to buy the super expensive glue! Maybe I should just get a kit…#KCACOLS

    Oh boy! My girls are obsessed with slime too…infact I have to hide my glue now for my craft projects or my youngest just grabs them to make slime.. lol
    I am not a big fan of slime. We have had instances when it was stuck to clothes, hair and it was not fun taking them out..:D
    But for kids it does look like fun..she keeps asking if she can make more slime.. looking at her excitement, I do give in sometime and let her make some..:)

    Kids love tie dye. As a teacher I’ve done it many times, and this looks like a cleaner way to do it. Perfect .

    It would really bug me that the blue colour is pineapple scented
    Looks like a fun activity and the slime looks quite sturdy so perhaps not too messy.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍.

✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
