or Nesh Kids Store's Novelties & Collectibles range is where sensory play, hands-on creativity, and just-for-fun toys come together. Think play dough and modelling clay sets, scented and textured slimes, bubble guns and blasters, and a few standout novelty finds like LED desk lamps for the study corner. These are the toys kids gravitate toward for open-ended play — squishing, shaping, popping, and building without a fixed "right way" to play.
Sensory toys like dough, clay, and slime are genuinely good for young hands — they build fine motor strength and grip control, encourage focus and calm (many parents use them as a wind-down activity before nap or bedtime), and give kids a screen-free way to be creative. Bubble guns and blasters bring the same open-ended fun outdoors, and are an easy win for birthday party favours or a backyard afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions — Novelties & Collectibles
What kinds of toys are in the Novelties & Collectibles category?
It's a mix of hands-on, open-ended play items: play dough and modelling clay sets, scented and textured slimes, bubble guns and blasters, and a few novelty extras like LED desk lamps. If your child likes squishing, shaping, popping, or building without a fixed set of rules, this is the category to browse.
What age is play dough or clay suitable for?
Most play dough is fine from around 2-3 years old, though it's worth waiting until your child has mostly grown out of putting things in their mouth. Modelling clay with smaller add-on pieces (cutters, moulds) is a better fit from 3 years up, once they can follow simple instructions like 'shapes stay out of your mouth.'
What age is slime suitable for?
Slime works best from around 4-6 years and up. It needs a bit more hand control than dough, and kids need to reliably understand 'don't eat it, don't put it in your hair' before it's a good fit. For younger kids who want the same sensory feel, plain dough or clay is the safer starting point.
What's the difference between play dough, clay, and slime?
Dough is soft, doesn't dry out quickly while sealed, and is the easiest to clean up — best for younger kids and repeat play. Clay (including air-dry or moulding clay) holds a shape better and is closer to a craft project than a toy. Slime is stretchier and stickier, gives the most 'sensory' feel, and is the messiest of the three — best kept to a wipeable table or tray.
How do I stop dough and slime from drying out in Sri Lanka's heat and humidity?
Always press out the air and reseal the container or tub tightly straight after play — dough and slime dry out faster in heat even than in cooler climates. Keep containers out of direct sun and away from fans or AC vents, which speed up drying. If dough has gone a little firm, a few drops of water kneaded in usually brings it back.
Are bubble guns and blasters battery-operated or manual?
Most of the bubble guns we stock are battery-operated — pull the trigger and it pumps out a steady stream of bubbles, which little hands find much easier than manual bubble wands. They typically take AA or AAA batteries (check the individual product listing) and come with or without bubble solution included, so it's worth checking before you order if you'll need to buy solution separately.
How do I get bubble solution stains out of clothes or floors?
Most bubble solution is just soap and water, so a quick rinse with plain water gets rid of it before it dries. On clothes, a normal wash handles it fine. On tiled or wooden floors, bubble solution can leave a slightly slippery film once it dries — a quick mop-up after playtime avoids any slip risk indoors.
My child has sensitive skin — is scented or coloured slime/dough okay?
Most branded dough and slime (like Play-Doh) is formulated to be low-irritation for typical skin, but scented and heavily coloured slimes are more likely to cause a reaction in kids with sensitive skin or known fragrance allergies. If your child has reacted to scented products before, start with an unscented, lightly coloured option and keep an eye on their hands during the first session.
Is play dough or slime safe if my toddler tastes it?
Play dough is generally considered non-toxic and a small taste is very unlikely to cause harm, but it's not meant to be eaten and shouldn't be encouraged — mainly because of the salt content in most dough recipes and the choking risk from swallowing a larger piece. Slime should never be swallowed on purpose. We'd still supervise dough and slime play with children who are prone to putting toys in their mouths, and keep bubble gun solution away from little ones' faces and eyes since it can sting even though it's not toxic.
