(54) | APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF A PLAY, CRAFT AND/OR TOY COMPOUND |
(57) There is provided in accordance with the invention apparatus and a method for producing
a play compound and the play compound itself which, in one embodiment is a compound
which sufficiently fluid to be pliable and is typically cold and slimy to the touch
and which, in one embodiment does not contain any borates. The apparatus and a method
provide a powder and liquid to a user, which can be a non-skilled person and thereby
allow the mixing of the powder and liquid together by that person to form the play
compound outside of a factory environment whilst ensuring that the play compound which
is formed has the desired characteristics. Most typically the user which performs
the mixing can be the end user, such as a child, who will play with the compound and
so the formation of the play compound forms a new part of the play experience.
