Bernard O'Shea: Why slime-making could be precisely the stress reliever you are looking for

An hour with the gooey stuff? It's a prescription for happiness. Like baking without the hassle. 

Slime is way more than 'just a toy.' Honest.

Some items my kids are obsessed with have, in one way or another, been challenging for me to live with as an adult.

For example, yoghurts. Albeit they have supplied them with a quick, easy, and nutritious snack, they have also destroyed several couches, and permanently damaged all my clothes. I've tried giving it to them in all its milky variants; tubes, frozen on sticks, and in bottles, but it still manages to smash into the TV screen. As for milk? I still have to drive my car with the windows down nearly a year after our three-year-old squirted his beaker onto the carpet.
