Nickelodeon Slime Fun Foods Kits Offer Convenience and Quality | Incredible Novelties

Nickelodeon Slime

Slime is a squishy fun stuff to play. We used to make green substance with Teddy, but over the years slime making became more sophisticated. While the main ingredients stay the same, you can add many extras from colors, small accessories to sparkles, glow or glitter items, even shape the slime particular way to resemble some characters.

Nickelodeon Slime

While you can make slime at home using mostly household items, there are lots of recipes on-line, toy companies went further and created special slime kits. These kits make easier for kids to create and play with the compound.

Nickelodeon Slime

For example, Nickelodeon Slime kits we received to play with, offer the convenience and have everything to make slime. Using them you do need to worry about leftover glue, extra coloring or containers for your projects. Everything you need are included in the kits.

Nickelodeon Slime

Nickelodeon Slime Fun Foods offers fun opportunity to make food-looking slime. It feels as if you have a dough to make mint chocolate chip cookies or cupcakes. The kit has everything needed for that: white glue, slime activator, colourant, beads, fusion beads, mixing bowls and cups. Teddy likes the process of making slime because he has to measure the ingredients, put them together, mix, add cute decorations and watch how they become one new compound called slime. He feels like he leads a science experiment creating a new slime and adding food coloring and sprinkles.

Nickelodeon Slime

Second kit Nickelodeon Slime Sweet Slime Creations we had an opportunity to play is more sophisticated. This kit includes more ingredients to make super sweet slime creations like Cookie dough slime, Cake batter, Cotton candy swirl slime, Frosting & sprinkles slime or Confetti cake slime. Designed for kids ages 6 and up, it includes slime glue, slime activator, colorant, glitter, sprinkles, confetti, mixing bowls and cups. With more colorants we created different colors slime and combined them together to create layered food items.

Nickelodeon Slime
One thing I know our slime does not rest unnoticed, everyone wants to try to play with it, stretch,  make different shapes and even to throw like a ball to scare parents!

Nickelodeon Slime Kits are available at Toys R Us, Indigo, Canadian Tire and Independent Stores across Canada. Check our experience at Indigo Kids Nickelodeon Slime event:

My FUNvelope is Canadian Craft Subscription Box For Kids | #Crafts4Kids

MyFunvelope Ted

Crafting is fun activity for kids. This year we made lots of crafts with Teddy, inspired by popular TV shows like Super Mighty Makers and Property Brothers.

My FUNvelope is a Canadian craft subscription box designed for kids ages 3-9. Every month kids receive their My FUNvelope. It includes four unique craft projects that follow a fun monthly theme. It can be Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Superheroes, nature and many other themes children like. Kids also receive a STEM activity to build.

MyFunvelope Ted

Usually Teddy does not receive anything by mail, sent especially for him except may be Santa's present. With My FUNvelope he is looking forward to getting one every month because this parcel intended only for him to build and play. You can recognize it right away because it comes in brand-name packaging!

MyFunvelope Ted

Our Fall Friends craft kit was a huge hit. It was perfect for our fall activities. From coloring page, drawing an owl to decorating picture frame and building a character. After the season is over, we keep everything for next year to decorate our house including a Pumpkin Patch direction sign.

MyFunvelope Ted

We liked that everything Teddy needed for his craft projects were included in his My FUNvelope including scissors and pencils. Previously our major disappointment with crafts was the lack of supply for a particular project. Or when we need just a few pieces of something, we have to buy the whole packaging which not only pricey but also not useful, like once we needed a coupe of green pom-poms, but we could get ones only if we buy a package with all colors pom-poms! With My FUNvelope, there is no need to worry about that, you get as much supply as you need for all your projects!

MyFunvelope Ted

Every My FUNvelope comes with detailed instructions on how to work on projects In English and French! Few projects Teddy finished himself without any adult's help and he was very proud of that.

My FUNvelope costs only $19 a month that includes free shipping and handling across Canada. You can subscribe for one, three, six months or one year. We like to have this option to choose. I think My FUNvelope makes a wonderful gift to a child for a birthday, holiday or any special occasion. For more information about the subscription and the theme packages, please visit https://myfunvelope.ca!

Foam Alive and Stretchy Sand With Endless Possibilities To Play | Incredible Novelties

Foam Alive

Foam Alive is a cool new toy we were introduced this fall. In October Indigo Kids hosted a special Halloween event to show kids Foam Alive products and Nickelodeon SLIME. That was fun experience digging through Foam Alive and finding little treasures.

Foam Alive

Foam Alive is a compound that comes to life when you play with it! Squeeze, make any shape out of it and compound slowly separates and starts to move like magic. It does not stop, and it looks like it is alive. Foam Alive is packed inside a plastic hourglass that allows to see the motion of the material when turning it upside down. It can be used as a storage container as well. It is fun exercise for hands and Teddy suggested that Foam Alive can be used as a good stress release. Compress Foam Alive repeatedly and then let it flow through your fingers. Squeeze it, mold this soft and fluffy substance and then watch how foam melts and un-shapes itself.

Foam Alive

It is available in three colors: Purple Pulse, Lava Lime, and Blue Blitz. If you mix these three colors - you can get festive flowing compound. This foam never dries out and probably creates a little mess when separates. But I like it comes dry and does not stick to the floors or a carpet. We can just pick the foam or vacuum little pieces. At Indigo Kids we learned funny game to play with Foam Alive! with kids called Treasure Hunt. You can place different little things or toys inside the tray with Foam and invite kids to find all the treasure items. It is actually lots of fun!

Foam Alive

Stretchy Sand is a new way to play with slime. It looks like a slime, can stretch and flow, but when you touch the compound, it feels like sand. The Sand has a unique texture, super soft and stretchy. You can squeeze, twist, separate it, then put back together and stretch! It is prefect for games, craft & art activities and pretend plays.  It allows you to use imagination and create various shapes! We had fun time playing with it as a dough, slime, a tester for science experiments, food, letters and even sea creatures. Possibilities are endless!

Stretchy Sand is prefect for kids and adults to use, it is non-toxic and can be used multiple times. The sand comes in a resealable tub that looks like a sand pail with a lid and a handler. When you finished playing just place your sand in the container till next time. Besides being fun toy to play Stretchy Sand can help reduce stress and anxiety! Just give it a try! Stretchy Sand is designed for kids ages 3 and up. It is available in four colours: pink, purple, green and blue.

These toys are sold online and in-stores Toys “R” Us, Indigo, Mastermind across Canada. The price for Foam Alive sets starts from $4.99. and Stretchy Sand is $9.99 for a tub.

Jeannie's Crab Lake Christmas by David Mulford Book Review | Brown Books Kids

Jeannie's Crab Lake Christmas

Winter is the magical season. When wild storms make the perfect frost-encrusted winter landscapes. Otters, hedgehogs, birds, deer and other animals get ready to face the cold. It means that Christmas time is very close. The woods are about to open a secret about the most festive time of the year. In the wilderness near Crab Lake nature tells a story about the most wonderful event which can happen only on Christmas!

Jeannie often visits Crab Lake during summer time, but this year she decides to come to the cottage in for Christmas. All the animals in the lake country are excited to meet Jeannie, because they often see her in summer.  Even bears and hedgehogs who hibernate in winter decide to greet Jeannie and postpone their sleep. And do you know the secret, animal can talk, but only in winter! This time they can tell Jeanine stories about their life and share how happy they to see her at the Crab Lake.

Once Jeanine arrives, animal greet her and invite to a special place in the woods where they celebrate winter season. There bear can dance, animals can sing and tell interesting stories. Deer arrive with a sleigh to take Jeanine. They move up and down hills, passing trees and bushes, fields covered with snow blankets. She realizes that Crab Lake is the most beautiful place she ever seen!

Once they arrived at the spot in the woods, the festivities start with cheer and joy. Bears start dancing, they sing their lovely songs. Then other animals join to the dance and tell their verses and stories of the woods. When animals can talk, it is easy for Jeanine to understand what happens in the lake country. Everyone is served delicious food at the celebration, I think hot honey punch flavored with chestnut and spices is a nice treat!

It is time to get back to the cottage for Jeannie. While the festivities are over the strongest friendship is built and fond memories about new friends the lady wants to share with other family members as they gather around the fireplace.


Jeannie's Crab Lake Christmas by David Mulford is beautifully written book with lovely illustrations. We were impressed how the author describes winter landscapes, nature and a forest. Teddy said you can feel and imagine that you stand outside in the middle of the woods surrounded by trees and forest animals. In the book you meet bear cub Pudgey and his family, kind Mr. Woodchuck, distinguished Bellknap Beaver, and the deer, the wolves, the cardinals, squirrels and many more. Enjoy the lovely holiday story and believe that animal can talk on Christmas!
