Sensory play is a vital part of every child’s growth.

It is becoming more apparent to parents as sensory toys are included in child education settings.

When children combine the sense of touch with other senses, such as smell and vision, this helps build cognitive skills, creativity, and fine motor skills.

Sensory play can help children who are either hyper or hypo-sensitive to stimuli, supporting therapy options.

One beneficial strategy is the incorporation of sensory toys — like slime!

How can slime be called a sensory toy?

In today’s time, with the massive increase in children's screen time, like always being stuck in mobile games and videos, productive usage of their brains and muscles becomes limited.

Their brains are constantly developing during the day, so it’s essential to introduce activities to keep them engaged.

This connection between one's senses and development brings us to sensory play.

Let’s see why slime can be the perfect development activity for your child-

• Playing with slime helps children connect with nearly all their senses, thanks to the textures and smells associated with slime.
• Even the ASMR sounds have tremendous benefits.

The unique and mesmerising ASMR sounds created when manipulating slime are known to provide great satisfaction to anyone who listens.

In terms of hearing or mind relaxation and other bodily functions- ASMR helps in both.

Slime ASMR is known to lower heart rate and relax the nervous system.

This happens because ASMR sounds are scientifically proven to be beneficial for humans. They have similar positive effects on the mind and heart that activities like meditation and music therapy are supposed to have.

The studies show that ASMR can manage anxiety and depressive episodes. It can also help patients with insomnia get much better and restful sleep.

• As they squish and stretch the slime, muscle, hand, and eye coordination further enhance the motor skills and build concentration.
• They'll also hear sounds and smells, which can benefit behavioural development.

• This combination of sensory input can also support audiovisual therapy for children with autism and sensory processing disorder.
• Playing with slime also helps reduce stress and anxiety, thus, providing a sense of relaxation.

More benefits of slime for children include the steady growth of:

• Creativity
• Attention spans
• Independence and self-sufficiency
• Thinking skills

Our fun range of squishy sensory toys has several benefits for kids and adults.

They provide the utmost relaxation and ASMR joy to children. Among adults, these squishy toys relieve anxiety and help fight stressful situations.

The best part is that there is no end to the creativity when playing with these slimes. They come in many different shapes- fruit-shaped, animal-shaped and food-shaped.

Besides the above-mentioned sensory toy, every slime texture has similar benefits for children and adults.

Sensory benefits of slime

Some doctors believe that sensory processing disorder is a symptom of other disorders, such as ADHD, anxiety, or autism spectrum disorder.

Many therapists are now incorporating various slime activities and toys to support children with such disorders.

This is because it is the perfect tool to inspire imagination, enhance motor skills, and encourage fun sensory play!

Slime and other sensory toys can also help children with sensory processing disorder focus, relax, and calm down during a specific event or situation.
