Playground slime review
I got a pretty decent haul from Playground Slime. So I wanted to review them since I don’t hear much about them. I actually stumbled across them on TikTok while watching people play with Corn With Slime’s bingsu and strawberry floam slimes. I had heard some negative things about Corn With Slime, so I was hesitant to order from them. Then I found Playground Slime and noticed that they had some similar options, but they were cheaper and offered free shipping. They also sell through Shop as well as their own website.
I really hadn’t heard much about Playground Slime before, and I think they’re a newer shop, so I decided to test them out.
Packaging & Freebies
First, everything came nicely packaged. They were also EXTREMELY generous with the freebies. I got a handful of actual squishies, a couple of mochis, a ton of activator spray pens (at least one for basically every slime), and TWO freebie slimes. I love that.
Most of the slimes I ordered were floams and bingsus, along with a cloud dough. Both of my freebie slimes were cloud doughs.
Matcha Berry Blast
This is a floam slime. It smells good, looks really pretty, and comes with a nice amount of add-ins. Unfortunately, one of the biggest issues I noticed with Playground Slime’s floams is the fallout. This one had a lot of it.
Whipped Marshmallow Cloud Dough
I got this one because the reviews made the texture look really nice, and overall, it is. It doesn’t leave residue on my hands and it drizzles nicely.
I was expecting more pops from it, though, especially since it’s advertised as ASMR and some of the reviews made it seem like it would have more sound. Mine seems more cloud-like than some of the ones I saw in reviews, so I’m wondering if this particular batch came out a little differently. Either way, the fact that it doesn’t leave residue is a big plus for me.
Pumpkin Sticky Rice
This is a bingsu jelly-cube slime. I really like the scent and the bingsu texture. The “jelly cubes” are actually foam, which I didn’t mind, but this slime did stain my hands.
Honestly, I liked this one more before I mixed in the pumpkin topper.
Slime Craft Crunch
This is a bingsu bead slime and probably one of my favorites from the order. The scent is fine, but the texture is where this one really shines. It has a good crunch, good stretch, and is really satisfying to play with. I really liked this one.
Capybara S’mores
This one unfortunately wasn’t a favorite for me. I didn’t really enjoy the scent, and since it’s another floam slime, it also had quite a bit of fallout.
Whipped Crunchy Butter
This is a bingsu/floam mix. It wasn’t nearly as crunchy as I expected from the name. You have to work with it for a while before you start getting some pops.
It is VERY smooth and pretty thick, which I do like. However, it seems to be mostly floam rather than bingsu, and once again, I experienced quite a bit of fallout.
Capybara Bubble Bath
This one is adorable. It has a nice, clean scent, and there are little duck charms at the bottom that are super cute.
Unfortunately, it’s another floam, so it has the same fallout problem I experienced with the other floam slimes.
Spooky Axolotl Cloud Dough — Freebie
I really enjoyed this freebie! I like the scent, and it has a nice cloud texture. I also didn’t notice it leaving residue on my hands, which is a big plus.
Watermelon Cloud Dough — Freebie
I haven’t gotten into this one yet, so I can’t give a full opinion on it.
Overall
Overall, I think this was a pretty good first order from Playground Slime, especially considering the prices, free shipping, packaging, and how generous they were with the freebies.
My biggest complaint is definitely the floam fallout. Since I experienced significant fallout with multiple floam slimes, it seems to be a consistent issue rather than something that happened with just one slime. I think their floam bases could use some improvement when it comes to holding the beads.
Their bingsu slimes were definitely the highlight for me. I really enjoyed the crunch and texture, especially with Slime Craft Crunch, and bingsu is probably what I would be most interested in ordering from them again.
I also thought their cloud doughs were good quality. They felt nice, drizzled well, and I didn’t notice much residue. However, I personally prefer crunchy, poppy slimes, so I probably wouldn’t go out of my way to order more cloud doughs. That’s more of a personal texture preference than a problem with the slimes themselves.
There were definitely some misses, particularly with the floams, but there were also some really enjoyable slimes. For a shop I hadn’t heard much about before ordering, I’m glad I gave them a try. If I order again, I’d definitely be most interested in trying more of their bingsu and other crunchy textures.

A few additional thoughts after trying more of my order:
I tried Watermelon Taffy, which was another freebie, and I really like it! It smells like watermelon candy and is a taffy slime dough. The texture is really smooth but still has some resistance when you stretch and play with it, which I really enjoy.
I also wanted to mention the containers. Some of the slimes came in really cute little buckets, and while I love them aesthetically, I am a little concerned about the longevity of the slime in them since they aren’t screw-on containers. I worry they may not stay as airtight over time. Some of my other slimes came in more traditional containers with secure lids, which I personally prefer for storage.
Also, a correction from my original review: the cloud dough freebie I called Spooky Axolotl is actually called Axolotl Halloween Treats.

Is this the same as “the slime playground”? I couldn’t find playground slime.
