Elmer's slime kit is a sticky promise that breaks faster than it sets

Skip the Elmer’s slime making kit unless you’re prepared for a sticky disaster and a disappointed kid once the novelty wears off — which it will, fast. The first batch is exciting, the second is messy, and by the third you’re scrubbing fluorescent goo out of the carpet while your kid has already moved on to something else. If you want a craft kit that lasts longer than an afternoon, keep looking. This one is all hype and no follow-through.
