Whether your generation is all about “Double Dare” slime or you have kids who like to make their own, there’s no doubt about it — slime is here to stay. (No matter how much parents may hate it).
Following a shortage of Elmer’s glue last year thanks to the slime-making craze, the company has decided to jump on the sticky, stretchy bandwagon and take slime-making where it has never gone before.
The company has officially launched its first-ever Ooey Gluey Slime Games, a competition for kids, teens and tweens all over the country to see who can create the most innovative and creative slime video recipes — all for a chance to win some pretty awesome prizes!

“The slime trend took social media by storm and continues to grow as kids seek fun new ways to express their creativity with Elmer’s,” Victor Misawa, senior vice president of marketing and writing for Newell Brands said in a press release. “The Ooey Gluey Slime Games were designed to inspire people to show off their unique slime creations with our products. This is also an opportunity for kids to become famous for their slime-making skills.”
