Zimpli Kids Gelli Baff Zimble Ballistic Blue Changing Box

The box is open, it is like someone open it or tear it

First lets say the colour changing isn't up to much. The colour change happens when the dissolver sachet is put in at the end. As it's coloured purple salt that's no great surprise and most of the fun is gone when you are at the end stage to get rid of of gloop back to a waterish state.The good news though is after a year of gelli baff my children still love it and think it's great fun. My 7 year old prefers to fill containers in the kitchen and mess around with gloop than sit in it but it's still a hit.Our first experience of gelli baff was when a child brought a packet of this stuff with them for a sleepover. I hadn't seen any of the adverts so I had no expectations and just followed the instructions. Basically they just slid round on a 6cm layer of what looked like marmalade but they loved it. It wasn't so much gelli bath as gelli puddle, slide around and then shower.DO NOT BUY GELLI BAFF UNLESS YOU HAVE A SHOWER as it is impossible to clean the stuff off the kids otherwise.I have now used gelli baff about a dozen times - mainly for kids sleepovers. I wouldn't recommend it for birthdays or any time you are in a hurry as it does take ages to clean the bathroom and the kids afterwards and be prepared for combing goo out of hair. We always use 2 packets and in our water area you can add more water than the instructions advise. It does thicken up after 5 minutes or so. For 2 packets make sure you fill the bath (plus essential bath mat) to waist height first and then evenly sprinkle the power over the bath surface. I have a child stand at each end of the bath and sprinkle the power over their half of the bath. Don't sprinkle the powder high up else you end up wth rather worrying dust clouds. Also never put one sachet in mix, than add more water and another sachet. If you do that the second sachet will not mix and ends up as hard, horrible lumps. The dissolver is just salt I think (I just use normal table salt to dissolve small quantities I make up in pots and pans) and doesn't turn the goo exactly back to water so a shower is necessary. I also find it quite drying on the skin so use a moisturiser afterwards.My 4 and 9 year old love it and it is a huge hit with 8/9 year old sleepovers. They stay in the gelli bath for ages and the goo retains the heat so they don't get too cold.I can see why others hate it though: dust, lumpy goo the consistency of wallpaper paste (nappy water holding crystal technology), small volume if you use one packet, doesn't all dissolve afterwards and the dissolver turns the bath salty, goo crystals everywhere to clean up ...Really I should hate it but it is so much fun.

Kids and adults love it especially the crackling popping one highly recommended

Wasn't great to be honest, feel luke you would need to buy a number to be good . . . Expensive

DON'T PUT MUCH WATER IN THE BATH- A FEW CM ONLY as otherwise it's too thin. Instead of a jelly texture it actually is lots of hard jelly beads,they didnt dissolve properly on addition of the 2nd powder that was meant to clear them, which then meant scooping them up into the toilet!

Son didn’t know what to think at first but he soon enjoyed it lol
