What matters most
Age guidance matters most when you look at the slime kits and Play-Doh products. You can find this information on each product page. These creative items are intended for supervised play with younger children. The Original Stationery Science of Slime Kit is for children aged 10 to 14. The GirlZone Unicorn Egg Sparkly Surprise Slime Kit is for children aged 7 and up.
You should also think about the interests of the person receiving the gift. The collection suits younger children at one end and adult collectors at the other. Collectable figures come in the maker box and appeal to older fans. Model makers might want the Arnold SBB RABe 503 Astoro four unit pack or the Bucasso paint rack organiser.
How to choose
To choose the right toy, think about whether the user wants to build, cuddle or collect. Children who like to create might enjoy the Play-Doh Air Clay Car Racers. These come in three colour pairs or an eight pack bundle. The special Play-Doh Air Clay does not dry out and attaches to a pull back racer car.
For a cat lover, a soft toy is another option. The Aurora Pusheen soft toys range from an 8cm keyring to 18cm pastel sitting cats. You can choose from designs like Party Pusheen, Doughnut Pusheen, Mermaid Pusheen, Pusheenosaurus and the Super Pusheenicorn. The pastel cats come in mint, pink and lilac colours.
Types and sizes in the range
The figures and collectables cover several famous characters. You can choose the Disney Stitch live action vinyl figure. This toy is 35.6cm tall and features an articulated design for poseable play. Anime fans might choose the Good Smile Pop Up Parade Fern from Frieren, which stands at 17cm tall.
Other options include the Funko Pop Deluxe Marvel Thor with Shawarma. You can also pick the Weta Workshop Mini Epics Eddie from Stranger Things. The Super7 Toho Godzilla Monster Island Blind Box 12 Pack gives you vintage inspired collectible figures. The MGA Crate Creatures Sizzle is an interactive dragon toy that comes locked in a crate. You use a crowbar to break open the lock.
Care and use for slime and models
The slime kits offer hands on activities without a screen. The GirlZone Unicorn Egg Sparkly Surprise Slime Kit contains everything needed for play. You can make glitter, fluffy cloud, foam, butter and fishbowl slime. It includes strawberry, candyfloss, bubblegum and vanilla scents. The Original Stationery Science of Slime Kit provides the materials for 10 experiments, which include fizzing slime and blood models.
For model makers, the Arnold SBB RABe 503 Astoro four unit pack provides a realistic train set. It represents the ECE 190 service between München and Zürich. Model hobbyists can also use the Bucasso paint rack organiser. It has 49 holes to hold 10ml and 18ml craft paint bottles.
