Here, Isabella feeds hay, vegetables and other treats to the big and small forest animals, before the big feast. The apple oatmeal cookies, baked after riding instructor Muriel’s recipe, are the horses favorites. When they get cold, Isabella puts the horse blanket over them.

“Great for kids who are drawn to music, the Otamatone is a cute, quirky, and fun-to-play electronic musical toy. It is characterized by its eighth note-shaped body, adorable moving mouth, and silly, buzzing, amusingly off-key voice. Simply press and slide fingers up and down the touch-sensitive stem to play different notes. You can also squeeze the Otamatone’s “face” to create a “Wah” effect and shake the stem to add Vibrato. One of Japan’s BEST Selling Music Toys.”

OG Slimes

OG Slimes
Spicy Ramen | Sweater Weather | Banana Nut Bread | Grape Agate |Pile of Leaves | 1. Wash hands before and after playing with slime! Slime leaves a sticky residue on sweaty/dirty hands. 2. If your slime was in the heat, place it in the fridge to cool down 3. Make activator before playing with your slimes”

“The OG Slimes story began in 2016 when Christine stumbled upon a video of slime on Instagram! Intrigued by the concept, she dove deep into the world of slime, determined to learn everything there was to know about it. However, at the time, the industry was niche, and there was a lack of information available online. Christine sourced her own ingredients and began experimenting with different textures.

Within a year, Christine’s slimes blew up on Instagram. One slime in particular, Butter OG, stood out as it was the first-ever butter slime texture. As the demand for Christine’s slimes grew, she expanded the business. Soon after, Christine and Olivya met in Japan and accidentally became best friends. Olivya eventually became co-owner of OG Slimes, and the two continued to share their creativity through slime and grow the business further year after year.

As first generation, Gen Z slime creators, they are proud of the unique slimes they have brought to life and the joy they have brought to their customers. Their passion has allowed them to incorporate parts of themselves into the work, resulting in unique slimes that reflect their interests and personalities. But beyond the aesthetics, what they value most is the ability to connect with others and bring out their inner child through their creations. It makes them happy to see people of all ages excited and curious as they explore the different textures, colors, themes and scents of our slimes. They are grateful that they can create a space of joy and relaxation where others can let go of their worries and simply enjoy the moment.”
