What is Slime actually for?
Sliming is primarily about fun, play, and the sounds it creates. This makes it ideal for use when you're bored or in stressful situations. But slimes aren't just for playing. Kneading and shaping the dough supports hand motor skills and is also used therapeutically. Certain slime scents can also promote relaxation or aid sleep.
Areas of application for slimes:
- Therapy: against anxiety, stress and panic attacks
- Support for rheumatism, Parkinson's, stiff hands, etc.
- Occupational therapy: after hand surgery to train the muscles (unlike play dough balls, slime can be adjusted to the degree of hardness of the hand muscles.)
- against fear of flying in airplanes; slime as an anti-stress toy
- Relaxation and meditation (e.g. in the home office, watching TV or while studying)
- Concentration and conversation support (during learning or a therapy session to maintain focus)
- Promoting sensory and motor skills in children
Slime is a great sensory experience for all ages : Feeling, looking and feeling come in all variations, accompanied by special smells and precisely composed sounds.
