For some reason known only to the Universe and YouTube, slime has resurfaced and become a sensation.  Chalk it up to viral videos, or maybe something in the school lunch program, but recently kids began making slime again - like they were working for Nickelodeon. In fact, the trend was so hot for awhile, that Amazon actually ran out of Elmer's glue, or at least that's the urban myth.  

Still don't believe me?  Check out YouTuber Karina Garcia the "Queen of Slime", with over 6 million subscribers and a nationwide tour.

As a party planner I have to embrace all trends. Of course I knew I needed to jump (back) on the slime bandwagon.  I've been making slime for years in my science parties. But no matter how much I prepare and how fine tuned the recipes are, there is always at least one kid who ends up a sticky, ooey, gooey mess.  I can't figure it out...but it always happens.  When we started creating "slime bars" for our teen and tween parties, I knew I was in for at least a few fails and mishaps.
