If your little one's of school age, chances are you're well-versed in the crazy, colourful, and very gooey, world of slime.

The trend to make, play with and even simply watch videos of the super-stretchy stuff has swept the nation, and has no doubt already started tugging on your purse strings.

Although you can make slime quite cheaply at home, you can also purchase kits from a variety of UK retailers and toy shops.

These make it yourself kits allow you to create all kinds of slime: from glitter to floam to gel, slime for the bath and even scented slime – bet you didn't know there were so many different kinds!

So, let's get stuck in and take a look at the best slime-making kits on the market.
