Antibacterial Slime Toys

Canal Toys Created Slime That Encourages Cleanliness in a Fun Way

— February 3, 2021 — Lifestyle
Slime toys for kids are known for being stretchy and stress-relieving and Canal Toys is taking what slime can do to the next level with its all-new Anti-Bacterial Slime. At a time where people of all ages need effective ways to stay on top of their hygiene and cleanliness, the brand is introducing a fun and appealing solution specifically for kids.

The Anti-Bacterial Slime is a first-of-its-kind product that is packaged in a pocket-sized tin. The product itself is non-sticky, super stretchy and useful for eliminating up to 99.99% of bacteria on hands, which makes it comparable to gel and foam sanitizers. The slime can be used over and over and its antibacterial properties are said to last for a month.
Trend Themes
1. Anti-bacterial Slime - Innovative slime that not only provides a fun and stress-relieving activity for kids, but also promotes hygiene and cleanliness through its antibacterial properties.
2. Pocket-sized Hygiene Solutions - The popularity of on-the-go hygiene products like portable hand sanitizers presents an opportunity for the development of similarly convenient and effective products like the Anti-Bacterial Slime tin.
3. Hygienic Kids' Toys - As parents prioritize the health and safety of their children, there is potential for the creation of more toys that incorporate features like antibacterial properties to keep kids healthy while they play.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Industry - With the rising demand for hygienic toys, manufacturers can explore the potential for incorporating features like antibacterial properties into their products, as Canal Toys did with its Anti-Bacterial Slime.
2. Personal Care Industry - The popularity of portable hand sanitizers and similar products reflects a growing need for convenient, on-the-go hygiene solutions that make it easy to stay clean and healthy while out and about.
3. Education Industry - The use of fun, engaging products like the Anti-Bacterial Slime can help educators teach young children about the importance of hygiene and make learning about handwashing and cleanliness more enjoyable.
