Our Story – From My Daughter’s Imagination to Your Hands

 

Hi, I’m Sonia – and I’m the lucky mom behind the magic of Silly Squish Slime.

It all started in July 2020 when my daughter Lyla was just 8 years old. Like many families during the pandemic, we were looking for fun, creative ways to stay busy at home. Lyla had always loved making slime, and before long, she came up with her very own recipe – buttery soft, stretchable, and not sticky. That was the start of Silly Squish Slime.

What began as a kitchen counter project quickly turned into something much bigger. We started sharing slime jars with friends and family, and word spread. People loved how sensory-friendly and fun our slime was, and Lyla decided she wanted to keep going – and give back at the same time. In those early months, she donated all her earnings to children’s charities.

Fast forward to today: we’ve sold thousands of jars, hosted hundreds of slime parties and workshops across Toronto and the GTA, and raised nearly $6,000 for kids in need. And Lyla? She’s now a proud kidpreneur, leading workshops, running parties, and even landing on the cover of OWL Magazine.

Why Our Slime is Special

 

We care about what goes into our products. Each batch is handcrafted using kid-safe, non-toxic ingredients: school glue, fragrance-free lotion, skin-safe activator, essential oils, and fine glitter. Our signature butter slime is made with 50% soft clay, giving it that amazing stretch without the mess.

We offer:

  • Pre-made slime jars in scents like Pink Bubblegum, Blue Slushy, and Fruit Loops
  • DIY Slime Kits with fun themes like unicorns, mermaids, or dinos
  • Party Favours – adorable 2oz slimes perfect for loot bags
  • Slime First Aid Kits – so your slime always stays fresh and fun

Our Parties

We bring the fun right to you! Our slime parties are an absolute hit with kids and parents alike. Whether it’s a birthday, school event, or workshop, we show up with everything you need for a hands-on, sensory-filled good time.

A Heartfelt Thank You

Watching Lyla grow this business has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. Silly Squish Slime isn’t just about slime – it’s about creativity, connection, and confidence. It’s proof that big dreams can start with small hands and a little curiosity.


Thank you for supporting our little slime biz. We hope it brings as much joy to your family as it has to ours.


With gratitude,

Sonia
