Anything that gets them off their phones and game consoles is fine by me. When I was that age we ran around shooting at each other with cap pistols but I guess you can't do that anymore. Half the things my friends and I did you probably can't do anymore. Our parents would yell at us for staring at the TV screen too much, that it would rot our brains, and tell us to go outside and play. If staring at screens all day rots your brain, maybe that explains a lot. Welcome to a world of zombies with brain rot and arthritic thumbs.
So let them play with their sparkly unicorn poop, if it gets them off their screens and out of the house. OK, now I'm picturing Calvin and Hobbes playing checkers on the front porch because his mom told him to go outside and play. At least it wasn't a checkers app on his phone.

That stuff has been HUGE here in chicagoland for about a year. Ask a grade schooler what they want to do, answer is always MAKE SLIME! I've also seen some JrHigh Kids with some sort of putty in a tin, that they constantly pull out, play with for a little bit, then put back.

It's basically glittery silly putty with an odd floral-ish scent. She obsessed over it for days. I sure hope she doesn't see that commercial!!

I was further surprised that it wasn't a joke, and even further surprised that it was a hot item this past Christmas. The instructional video <https://youtu.be/1YKd4YjPnko> tells me that the designer is a person who delights in disappointing children. The child who will be amused by a unicorn pooping slime is exactly the same child who won't follow detailed instructions. You'll need a parent there with a stopwatch to crack the whip, "You may feed the unicorn for precisely two minutes and then you must make it poop!" -- AF mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
