Question
Liz –
What do you do with the slime when the kids finish playing? Can we save it for a next time?

Absolutely you can! We recommend storing the slime in a plastic zip-lock bag until you’re ready to play with it again!

Dorothy A Lipinski –
Will this set be enough for 5 children to experience each color? Does it have to be in a clear glass bowl? Is there enough solution for 5?

Ashley –
I am wanting each child(10-20 kids) to have their own bowl to use for the string slime. Do I need to buy more activator solution for each bowl or just put a little in each bowl?

Yes, I would recommend ordering an extra bag of activator just to make sure you have plenty for the kids to do the experiment.

Kathleen Schaefer –
I would like to use this as a center along with a book during our summer reading program. We would rotate small groups in throughout a 6 hour period of time. There would probably be about 8 groups with 12 kids each. I can limit how much product the kids will use each group. I guess my question is, how much product would each group need to use for a satisfying activity? Do they use a whole bottle each time?

Kathleen – thanks for the question. I would probably suggest purchasing our 1 liter size of the string slime, a purchase of 6 liters should be enough for the full session. Please call me if you have any other questions.

I love the Rainbow String Slime. It is amazing and really exciting for the children. If it accidentally gets on a towel or other cloth fabric and dries out, is there a way to get the slime off easily? Do you use salt or soap or vinegar?

Question
Henry Goodwin –
In August I saw Steve’s “DIY Science” TV show in slime. Near the end of the show he made balsa by putting clear slime in a measuring spoon, along with some colored. When he dipped it into the activator solution, it formed a small ball. Did he use th is strong slime or the “standard slime” materiaks?
Thank you in advance for helping me with this.

We estimate that one kit is enough for about 16 kids working together so for 100 students we recommend 7 kits.
