Check out our list of toys below!

Slimy

Slimy-200x142The name is perfect, this revival of an eighties favourite will be loved by kids across the land for one reason if none other – That parents think it is messy! And they will remember how their mums and dads disliked it.

Truth is that Slimy feels and looks very messy but isn’t so bad, this colourful and slippery/squelchy stuff feels a bit yucky (or delightful, depending on what age you are) and can be played with in all kinds of ways.

As well as Slimy original there is super-stretchy Mega Elastic set, which has incredible flexibility, and the Volcano sets which include a free dinosaur (there are 12 different ones to collect) and the dinosaur tooth set filled with red and black slimy and finally the horror gue which contains plastic spiders.

PRICE: from Β£3.50 at Brainstormtoys.co.uk
