Before I forget have a read through our other Toy Buzz reviews for more fun inspiration.

Parent Review
“Ok, so this kept all three of our kids busy for hours one afternoon- they literally could not get enough of the stuff! Squishing, squeezing setting up scenes with the dinosaurs. It was delightful to watch them all playing together and having so much fun.” – Dad of 3

Extension Tips
- Let your child enjoy making up their own miniature world using the Gelli Worlds sets. Then if they tire of those ‘characters’ replace them with a few different plastic figurines of your own.
- If you are using the original Gelli Baff in the bathtub let your child’s imagination go wild as they make up their own imaginary story of being in a jelly bath or bathing in red lava from a slime volcano!
- Allow your child to demonstrate using the product and film them as they do a demonstration video pretending to be a scientist at work or a toy reviewer. This could add a fun twist especially for older kids!
- Turn an everyday bath into a special event that your child can look forward to – perhaps it is Slime Bath Thursday? or Gelli Baff on Fridays as a treat. Spending a bit more time enjoying this sometimes repetitive bath routine with kids could inject some quality fun into your family.
