Crystal slime

Crystal slime is a toy or sensory craft material for people who like stretching, squeezing, and making a glossy, translucent goo do whatever their hands tell it to do. By our assessment, its main appeal is tactile: it is one of those products that can keep hands busy and gives a simple, fiddly kind of play. The downside is just as familiar, because slime can dry out, pick up dirt, and become messy fast if it is left out or handled roughly. In practice it is more about the feel than the goal, so the fun lives in the squish and the pull rather than in any deeper game. Crystal slime sits in the same space as putty, slime tubs, and other sensory toys, and it makes most sense for short bursts of play rather than tidy long sessions.
