This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I work with preschoolers. Mainly autistic preschoolers.

It would be a huge help if the makers of slime would go back to making unscented versions. Whenever I look in stores for these things, it's like companies straight up stopped manufacturing anything without a scent.

I'm trying to discourage kids from putting toys in their mouths, especially sticky toys that tend to gather all sorts of oils and gunk through regular play. It would be so much easier if everything out there didn't smell like candy.

There are some tutorials on how to make them at home, I don't know how good they are in comparison to the store bought ones, but it could be a fun activity to do in class and they wouldn't have the good smells
