Our verdict
Both trade in tactile satisfaction, but one is an activity and the other is an object. Elmer's Magical Liquid slime activator (£2.50 at the time of writing, 4.5 stars, 11,856 reviews) replaces borax, contact lens solution and baking soda in one bottle and makes four batches when added to Elmer's glue, an afternoon of messy fun each time. Boxer Gifts' Calma Llama (£7.99, 4.2 stars) is a squishy desk companion for stressed adults, more gift-shop giggle than craft project. The Elmer's is cheaper, better rated and more engaging for kids, though you'll need glue too. The llama suits Secret Santa duty for a colleague who needs a squeeze.
