Marquette's slime + play dough bar

Nothing beats a
parlor party.

Slime Workshop

The hands-on version. We walk everyone through mixing a slime base from scratch, then each kid customizes their batch with color, scent and mix-ins and takes the whole thing home.

Great for ages 5 and up

Littler mixers (ages 3 and 4) can absolutely join in with a grown-up helping. For the under-5 crowd we usually suggest the mobile mixing bar, where the slime and dough are already made and the fun is all in the topping.

What's included

  • Step-by-step slime making led by us
  • Every ingredient and supply provided
  • Pick your own colors and scents
  • Glitter, charms and mix-in bar
  • A take-home jar for every kid
  • Trays, wipes, full setup and cleanup
