All I want for Christmas....

So the only thing my kid will play with these days comes in a little plastic tub at the dollar store. We call it goop. Some call it glurp. Some call it putty or alien slime. It is ugly, cold, clammy, sticky goo that for some reason fascinates my kid to no end. I go to the dollar store and buy cases of the stuff, so I can go home, and whip one out whenever I need like, 4 hours to get something done.

I'm all about imaginitive play, so bring it on. She sits there and pours it over her princess dolls, wraps it around her doll house babies like a blanket, and wraps it around her plastic wonder pets like capes. Oh, and lets not forget how amusing it is to pour it all over the table, and enjoy stuffing it back into the bottle and listen to the sick fart noises it bestows. As long as it stays off my carpet... it's the best investment around.

Who needs toys all over their house?
