Our Family’s Journey: The Creating of Silly Lilly Slime Story
Our mission, goals, and passion through playing with hand made & sensory designed slime! 🐱🫶✨
Silly Lilly Slime was born from both heartbreak and hope. After a series of difficult years—including our daughter’s 2023 dyslexia diagnosis and losing everything during the Florida hurricanes in 2024— at the end of 2024 we made the difficult decision to relocate back to our hometown of Las Vegas. With nothing but our creativity, our family, and a lot of resilience, we began rebuilding from the ground up.
What started as a healing project in our kitchen quickly became a business with a MUCH bigger purpose: to bring joy, inclusion, and connection to others, especially children with learning differences and disabilities. Today, Silly Lilly Slime is proudly handmade by our family—from the slimes themselves to the packaging and designs. Even our 11-year-old daughter, who inspired this journey, is now our “Head Slime Chef”! And our anxiety support cat, Lilly, serves as both our mascot and gives us all constant emotional comfort. 😻
Why Silly Lilly Slime Works Perfectly for Sensory and ABA Play: 🐱🌻✨
Slime is more than just a gooey good time—it’s a powerful tool for engagement, education, and inclusion. At Silly Lilly Slime, we’ve designed our experiences & slimes with intention, combining science-backed benefits with interactive fun.
Supports ABA Therapy Goals: From following instructions to exploring cause and effect, slime play is a natural fit for ABA-based learning models. Our team includes RBT-trained staff who help guide participants through enriching activities.
Encourages Creativity & Self-Expression: Kids choose their own scents, colors, textures, and mix-ins, helping build confidence through decision-making and sensory exploration.
Strengthens Fine Motor Skills: Mixing, stretching, and sculpting slime helps improve grip, coordination, and hand strength—skills that support everyday tasks like writing and dressing.
Promotes Emotional Regulation: Sensory play has calming properties. Our slime sessions help children learn to manage anxiety, express emotions, and stay engaged through safe, hands-on play.
Inclusive for All Abilities: Our mobile, customizable setups ensure we can bring slime to any child, in any setting—adapting activities for age, skill level, and sensory sensitivities.
Why We Do It (because it’s silly not to!)🐱❤️🫶
Our mission is to create play with purpose—offering meaningful, immersive slime experiences that bring families, educators, and communities together. Mixing up the magic of not just slime but possibility and creativity all at once!
Over the last two years, we’ve seen firsthand how our ABA-based slime programs can transform lives. Through partnerships with local organizations like Success On The Spectrum, we’ve tailored age-appropriate programming that fosters inclusivity, builds confidence, and promotes developmental growth.
Watching children light up with excitement, creating and leaving with their custom slime creation—and knowing we’re helping in that moment—is what drives us. 🥲❤️❤️
We also believe in supporting beyond the slime table. That’s why we created a free national and local autism/ABA resource directory, to help families access the services and support they need. It’s just one more way we aim to build an informed, connected community where no one feels left out.
Our slimes are always handmade using high-quality ingredients like Elmer’s glue, safe fragrances, Micah powder base coloring (also used in eyeshadows) and vibrant, sensory-rich mix-ins. But what makes our slime truly different? Our secret mess free slime recipes do not stick to most hands or surfaces, and the love, laughter, and teamwork behind every batch is truly what makes Silly Lilly Slime special.
Join the Silly Lilly Slime Family🌻🫶✨🐱
Whether you’re planning a sensory-friendly party, looking for inclusive programming, or simply want to bring smiles to your classroom or clinic, we invite you to join the Silly Lilly Slime family. Because when you mix creativity, compassion, and a little sparkle, you get something truly magical.
💖 Play with purpose. Mix up the fun. Mix up meaning and purpose. Be a part of something silly, something special—Silly Lilly Slime. 😻🌻✨🎉🐱

Slime & ABA Therapy – A Perfect Pair for Purposeful Play
What is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy grounded in the science of learning and behavior. It helps individuals, especially those with autism, improve social, communication, and learning skills through positive reinforcement. ABA techniques are adaptable and can be applied in various settings, including homes, schools, and communities.
Why Slime is an Ideal ABA Tool
Slime isn’t just fun—it’s therapeutic. Here’s how it complements ABA therapy:
Sensory Engagement: Slime’s texture and malleability provide rich sensory experiences, aiding in sensory integration.
Fine Motor Skills: Manipulating slime strengthens hand muscles and coordination.
Focus & Patience: Activities like stretching or molding slime can enhance attention spans and patience.
Communication: Describing slime’s properties or following slime-making instructions can boost language skills.
Positive Reinforcement: Slime can serve as a reward, motivating desired behaviors.
Silly Lilly Slime: Our Story
Born from resilience, Silly Lilly Slime is a family venture rooted in Las Vegas. After facing a devastating natural disaster and discovering our daughter’s dyslexia in third grade, we sought a path of healing and purpose. Our journey led us to create a business that combines fun with function, offering products that support therapeutic goals and bring joy to families.

The Science Behind Slime – Why It’s More Than Just Fun
Slime has taken the world by storm, but did you know there’s real science behind the stretchy, squishy fun? At Silly Lilly Slime, we don’t just make slime—we craft a sensory experience that combines chemistry, creativity, and relaxation.
The Science of Slime and Silly Lilly Slime making:
Slime is a non-Newtonian fluid, meaning it behaves like both a solid and a liquid depending on how you interact with it. When you stretch it slowly, it flows like a liquid, but when you pull it quickly, it snaps like a solid. This happens because of polymer chains—long molecules that tangle together when mixed with an activator like borax or saline solution.
Why Slime Is Great for the Brain
Playing with slime isn’t just about fun—it’s an amazing sensory tool that can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and mindfulness, and enhance fine motor skills and hand strength.
10 SENSORY BENEFITS FROM SILLY LILLY SLIME EXPLAINED
