My daughters (six and soon-to-be four) are well acquainted with the products of So Slime. Its rainbow lettering alone induces pure excitement so just imagine the glee with which So Slime Sensations ASMR Surprise Box was opened!
This surprise box contains 12 slimes of varying viscosity and eight decorative elements, all within bright golf-sized balls. The box doubles up as a vending machine with a little handle to turn, which adds to the suspense - what will it be? The girls took it in turns. No disappointment.
The various decorative pieces ranging from heart-shaped gems to heishi beads and polystyrene balls are bright, colourful and shiny. I would advise parental supervision with opening, especially if the ball sounds like a shaker, since the tiny balls and beads could definitely go everywhere.
The slimes are odourless and the girls love each one, though they did notice that the metallic slimes (there are six types listed on the box) are particularly gooey and they found it easier to decorate the other slimes over these.
After playing, it is easy to tidy up each element with little residue left on our table (most from the metallic slimes as mentioned above) and since the box can be reused as a vending machine with a hole at the top to reinsert the balls, the whole item has continued to bring lots of joy! The girls also enjoy mixing and matching the colours of each half of the balls.
Environmentally, as with a lot of toys in this age range, this is not a sustainable product but given that the airtight balls keep the slime moist and pliable as in its original condition and the decorative parts can be pulled off and reused on different slimes and slimes can combine, I would rate this product very highly.
