10 slime videos that will make you relax

For those looking for meaning in translation, slime in English literally means slime or sticky thing. And indeed, at first glance, slime is nothing more than slimy slime. The difference is that it is also extremely malleable, and can be molded and stretched into different shapes as many times as you want.

As far as kids go, it’s easy to understand the appeal of slime, especially considering the fact that it’s often made in vibrant colors and even glittery. The good news for parents is that, in addition to fun, it also provides children with a sensory experience that encourages the recognition of shapes, colors and textures, as well as favoring muscle tone and fine motor skills, linked to precision movements with the hands and with fingers.

Understanding adults’ fascination with slime is a little more complicated, as the reasons go far beyond nostalgia. That’s because, although there are still few or almost no studies on the subject, slime is on the list of things that stimulate the so-called Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR). In other words, it’s one of those things that when seeing or doing, many people feel a pleasant tingling in the back of the neck and scalp, which ends up relaxing the body.

While the scientific reason for slime’s feeling of well-being is still unclear, if you’re susceptible to it, why not learn how to make your own slime and relax with the videos below?
