Double Dare Double Dare remains the longest-running game show produced by Nickelodeon. As Double Dare grew messier, a green slime substance became more commonly used in physical challenges and obstacles.

Slime is a unique sensory play substance typically consisting of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), a solution like white glue, and borate ions, commonly found in borax. When the adhesive reacts with the borate ions, it creates a thick, sticky “non-Newtonian fluid,” which means that it is neither a liquid nor a solid.

Kids are obsessed with slime right now because it's so unique and new. This is likely what has caused the craze to last so long; it's a sensory experience that kids have never experienced before, and they love it. It's also why there are so many different brands of slime available right now.

In 2016, a group of Thai teenagers started the slime video sensation, and over the past few years the clips have become a pillar of Instagram and YouTube. Multiple slime accounts have millions of followers, establishing the genre as a basic well of content that never runs dry.

The History of the Slime Trend The revival of the slime trend started in 2015 with a few young people posting slime videos - videos showing how to make slime as well as videos of people playing with slime - to Instagram. Followers came soon after, and accounts featuring similar videos blossomed.

“Most slime recipes out there call for Borax, a strong alkaline substance like lye,” said Mark Johnston, program coordinator of the Regions Hospital Burn Center. “If used improperly or carelessly, it can cause chemical burns.” According to Johnston, close parent supervision is key to making sure your child stays safe.

Sensory play is important for motor development, and since older kids are still developing those skills, they could use some practice! In addition to refining motor skills, slime helps children regulate their emotions.

Experts believe that slime comes from the Old English lim, "sticky substance," which shares a root with the Russian slimak, or "snail."

But the real source of slime's popularity may be auditory in nature. The appeal of the videos - often featuring a tub of slime being poked at repeatedly - is that distinctive slurping sound the slime produces when moved, stretched and interacted with. The slime obsession has created several social media celebrities.

In addition to refining motor skills, slime helps children regulate their emotions. Playing with slime is a calming activity; kids can knead, stretch, and swirl their slime into different shapes and movements for hours. It's important and beneficial to give them that sensory play they love!
