How do I deal with this?...

[Zoonart]

Have my grand-kids for the weekend. They are both girls... 9 and 12 yrs old and they are great girls, but...they are obsessed with slime.
Have any of you dealt with the great slime menace?

I am an artist a painter and sculptor and I have to say as broad minded as I am bout crafts... I just don't get this.

They are constantly playing with it and posting vines of it and they view the prefect slime as some sort of achievement.
Can anyone talk me down?

1. As the mother of three daughters......

wait it out.

They'll be obsessed with something else equally weird in a few weeks and the slime will be be long forgotten.

2. Thanks, Sedona...

I needed that.

3. If you're looking for a distraction, try some DIY craft projects.

The internet is full of helpful ideas for kids. Here, check out these fun activities:

4. Buy them more slime

5. It's the current fad. Many kids are making it and trying to sell it

to other kids. My granddaughter wants me to make it when she visits. I've diverted her with sewing lessons.

6. Yeah... I was kind of joking...

Try as I might, I cannot divert them from the slime. I have an art studio with every kind of art supply anyone could want and they will not be swayed from the slime.
