Steve Spangler’s Slime Art: It’s the World’s Best Slime for a Reason
Non-Glue, Easy-to-Use and Won’t Stain Your Hands
Go beyond the typical off-brand glue slime and create your own version of the world’s best slime with Steve Spangler’s Slime Art. Our slime toy is safe, easy, and fun for everyone. Each Slime Art science kit comes with 1 liter of our high-quality PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) solution with your choice of coloring. What makes Steve Spangler slime a step above other slime science kits on the market? Our Slime Art kit includes a special formulation, unlike the competition. We have added special stabilizing agents to help to reduce the growth of bacteria while still preserving the stretchy, gooey properties of slime that everyone loves to mess around with. It’s an added advantage that makes our slime-making kit safer while still being a blast for kids to experiment with!
How Does Steve Spangler’s Slime Art Work?
Think of your slime toy like microscopic spaghetti – long chains of slippery, slimy molecules called polymers. The Activator Solution links together long polymer chains to form the world’s best slime, so you can have endless amounts of fun. Keep your slime toy in a zipper-lock bag for safe storage and make sure to keep it off any carpet, wood surface, or anywhere else you’re worried about damaging with slime. This keeps your home safe, and it allows you to store your slime toy without it drying out before your kids get a chance to play with it again.
Can I Use Slime Art to Teach My Students?
Yes, our Slime Art makes a great classroom science experiment! Making slime is a great way to showcase the concept of changing states of matter by transforming a liquid into a solid. With Slime Art, you can introduce and demonstrate the process of cross-linking long chains of molecules and explore the science of polymers as a whole. Use this slime science kit to teach students about states of matter as they witness the two liquids combine to form a solid, oozing batch of colorful slime. They will love observing and feeling the slime for themselves — a truly hands-on experience that keeps kids engaged and promotes creativity with Slime Art.
Create and Share Works of Slime Art
When you’re done playing and experimenting with your slime creation, combine all of your slime into one giant pile. Find a safe surface, such as a countertop or glass table, where the slime can spread out and dry for five to seven days. When the water evaporates, your ooey, gooey slime will turn into an amazing piece of science-inspired art.
Make Slime the Way You Like It
Just mix the two liquids to create long, gooey molecular chains of polymer slime. It’s that easy. Experiment with by mixing proportions to make slime the way you like it.
What Happens to Slime Under Black Light?
There’s a reason why making slime art is a perfect Halloween activity. The UV-reactive formula glows under black light, so gather your friends and turn off the lights — it’s time to make some black light slime. Prepare to get hands-on with ooey, gooey slime as you test the differences in luminosity between the six different colors when exposed to black light.
Slime Art: What’s Included?
- 1 Liter (33.8 fl oz) of PVA with enhanced stabilizers (increases shelf life and reduce bacteria)
- 240 mL (8 fl oz) of Cross-linking Slime Activator Solution
- Step-by-Step Activity Guide

Carol –
It was stellar!!! I requested to pick my order and it was ready sooner than expected. When I got to their warehouse, Josh showed me some really cool dried art pieces made from Slime Art! It was like the Rise Window of Slime! Smart man Josh- I bought a set of six slimes!! A very happily purchased up-sell!!
I attended Science in the Rockies in 2012 and have been doing camps and family nights and anything else I can to bring the joy of science and math and art to the masses!
I’m excited to share Steve Spangler science with my family at our annual reunion at The Carpenter Ranch in Hayden, and with my new community of friends and family, the Syrian refugees in City Heights, near San Diego!! The idea of the 1200 resettled Syrians laughing, learning, and loving science makes me very happy! If I am given permission I will share photos with you all!
Great Customer Service! Great products!!

This was such a fun activity. We made this art project for a Christmas present to send home. It was fantastic!
It took longer to dry than I thought. About a week.

Question
Lori –
Hi:
About 8-10 years ago, I bought the clear slime kit (PVA and activator) several times.Kids added food coloring and it worked great. More recently, I bought the SuperSlime and the food coloring didn’t absorb and made a sticky mess.
Do you still sell the original (not Super)?
Thanks

Lori, Thanks for the question. We just sell the Slime Art at the moment. We do sell the Slime Art in a clear version where color can be added. Here is a link to that product: https://www.stevespanglerscience.com/store/super-slime.html

How much slime would I need for 30 kids to each have a little (in a ziplock bag) to play with? Thanks!
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
joshlittrell –
Jeannie, thanks for the question. I would say at least 2 oz of slime would be good for each kid to put into a ziplock bag. A liter of slime is equal to 33.8 oz. With that being said I would suggest at least 2 liters for the group. If you want the kids to make more slime I would suggest our gallon size. Have fun with the slime.

I got clear slime by accident for my preschoolers. What can we do with clear slime? Can we add coloring?

Shelly – I did see that you placed an order for the clear slime and a separate order for the Color Fizzers. When adding the Color Fizzers, make sure to add it to the Slime Activator and shake before combining it with the Slime. Have fun with the Slime project.

When I open the slime package the instructions were great. So I tried to make it and as soon as I closed the latches to shake it it overflowed. And so I kept shaking and I gave it another try but then I opened it it stuck all over my hands and broke so easily. It was not stretchy at all like advertised on the package.

Question
Jesse Dowling –
The slime kit came with conflicting instructions and did not seem to work at all. There are 2 bottles- one blue and one clear- then a very small amount of ‘activator’ powder. The instruction cards said to mix 1 tsp of powder to 1 oz of fluid. there is only maybe a tsp. of powder? then when we did add it the powder congealed and would not mix. The powder then says that it is mixed at 1tsp. to 1/2 a bottle of fluid.
I sat down to make slime with my grand son and it was a huge failure. How can this work when the kits instructions don’t even agree with themselves?

It’s very easy! If you purchase the Shaker Cups (sold separately), it makes it even easier. The instructions provided will give you exact portions and the cups will show the measurements. There’s no guess work!

Hello, i dont understand well, with this product you can make slime??? Or this is slime allready to play????
If i would like to do slime, can you tell me how and which products i might need.
Thanks

Staff lisabrooks –
You make the slime yourself by mixing the pre-colored PVA solution to the cross-linking activator. Once the slime is made, the kids can play with it. When they are done, they can leave it out and it will create Slime Art once it is fully dry. One kit provides you with everything you need to make slime. I suggest buying a couple different colors of slime to make your slime art.

Heath Walters –
What is the proper storage process for any slime ingredients I have left over? Can I freeze it?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Staff lisabrooks –
If stored properly, the product will last approximately one year. You will need to make sure it is stored at room temperature with the a tight seal to the caps. Be sure to avoid touching the inside of the caps or touching the lid of the bottle. Germs can effect the product. We do not recommend freezing the product or storing it anywhere where the product can get too cold. This will effect the product and may make it unusable.
