Best Slime Gifts for Kids – UK Guide
Best Slime Gifts for Kids – The Ultimate UK Guide
Slime gifts for kids are the new must-have present, and the UK is bursting with creative options. If you’ve been searching for a slime shop in England that parents trust, a British slime brand with lots of fun options, or simply want to browse the coolest slime shops in the UK, you’re in the right place. We’ve hand-picked our favourite tubs, potion kits and texture packs from Igby’s Slime Squad to help you choose the perfect present for every child – from total beginners to seasoned stretch-masters.
Why buy from a UK slime store?
- Fast, fuss-free delivery. No customs delays when you order from a slime store UK. Slime from the USA can carry £20+ shipping fees, so buying British makes sense.
- Safety first. Slimes made outside the UK might not meet the same safety standards and could pose health risks.
- Support a kid-preneur. Igby is eight and already runs one of the most famous UK slime shops.

Beginner-friendly slimes
Texture packs – instant variety for curious hands
If you’re gift-shopping for a child who’s never owned slime before, a mini sampler pack from a trusted UK slime shop is a safe bet. The Olympics Texture Assortment bundles four tubs – butter, cloud, bingsu and holographic clear – so kids can decide which feel they love most. The slightly larger Texture Play Pack swaps Olympic rings for mini play-scenes. Both come with activator spray and are great for beginners.
Marshmallow Mermaids – sweet-scented butter slime
Marshmallow Mermaids delivers peach-and-marshmallow fragrance plus a dreamy butter texture that’s easy to stretch without sticking. Simple to maintain and endlessly satisfying.
Sleepy Sheep – bedtime friendly
Sleepy Sheep is an ultra-soothing lavender butter slime with cute sheep charms and muted lilac colour. Ideal for sensory-seekers who need a calm fidget during story time.
Intermediate picks – texture twists & potion play
Polyjuice Potion Slime Kit – the DIY wizard favourite
The Polyjuice Potion Slime Kit lets children make a slime kit their own: measure powdered bicorn horn, stir amberglue and squash boomslang skin, then watch the potion transform.
Crunch & colour
- Pop Goes the Weasel – a lemon-lime bingsu bomb that crackles with every squeeze.
- Luck of the Slime – clay + bingsu hybrid with a four-leaf-clover charm; mix to create a thick jade swirl.
- Holi Pop – clear base plus two Holi powders for a mini colour-festival explosion.
Roman Bloodbath – floam for fearless imaginations
Roman Bloodbath is berry-scented floam bursting with mini gravestones and Roman soldiers. Foam beads add intense crunch – perfect for history buffs and monster-mad kids.
Expert-level slimes – advanced textures & mixed media
Penguin Rock – cloud + clear mash-up
Penguin Rock pairs fluffy cloud slime with a pot of crystal-clear blue. Build an Antarctic scene, bury the penguins, then fold together for a whipped glacier effect.
Splat Attack – holographic galaxy
Splat Attack is a holographic clear slime loaded with cosmic glitter, blueberry scent and alien charms. Great for bubble pops and sci-fi play.
Treasure Bay – sand meets slime
Treasure Bay brings tactile contrast: soft sand slime plus glossy blue clear slime. Hide the mini treasure chest, dig for gems and explore for hours.
Pop the Potion – jumbo bubble specialist
Pop the Potion uses a thick clear base formulated for mega bubbles. Advanced slimers can time how long each dome lasts before the satisfying pop.
Build-your-own fun – make a slime kit in minutes
If you’d rather gift a process than a finished product, stick with DIY slime sets like the Polyjuice Kit above. It ticks the “slime making kit” box and comes with everything needed to make an amazing shop-quality slime at home.
Safety & parental tips
- Store slime in an airtight tub to prevent drying.
- Wash hands before and after play – natural oils shorten slime life.
- Use activator sparingly: one spray, knead, repeat.
- Supervise under-5s. All Igby slimes are labelled 3+, but younger children still explore with mouths.
