Elmer’s Stretch 'N Create Dough Kit – 3 Ways to Play, Includes Glue Pens & Decorations, 9-Piece Set for Kids
The Elmer’s Stretch 'N Create Dough Kit is a 9-piece activity set that lets kids mix, stretch, and shape a unique creation that feels like a cross between slime and dough. Designed for three distinct phases of play, it includes Elmer’s Glue Pens and decorations so the final hardened piece can become a keepsake. This kit works well for birthday parties, school activities, or at-home craft time.

How does the play process work?
The kit guides kids through three stages. First, they mix the included ingredients to create a stretchy dough. Once ready, they have 10–20 minutes to squish, pull, and stretch the dough — it’s designed to be stick-resistant when made per the instructions, which reduces mess. After that window, the dough begins to harden, signaling the third phase: shaping and decorating with the glue pens and included decorations to form a permanent keepsake.
When does the dough start to harden?
According to the instructions, the dough begins to harden after 10–20 minutes of play. This gives kids a clear window for stretching and shaping before it sets. Once hardened, the creation can be decorated and kept as a souvenir.
Is the dough sticky?
The kit claims the dough is stick-resistant* when prepared according to the included instructions. This means less mess on hands and surfaces compared to typical slime or dough, though results may vary if the directions are not followed exactly.
