Do you guys remember when slime swept the country, and everyone was making tubs of it? It was a few years ago, but young Maddie Rae jumped right on the trend. When Maddie was 11 years old, the trend was in full swing, and she loved it. Her whole business started when she went to the store with her dad and was looking for supplies to make slime. However, there was no glue at the store, which is an essential ingredient of slime. This prompted Maddie into action, and she decided she would make her own glue for her slime.
Maddie’s glue was different from other glue. Rather, the glue was made specifically for slime. This glue has a specific ingredient, polyvinyl alcohol, which is a “key slime-making ingredient” which makes it different from your every-day glue.
Maddie released her new glue, Maddie Rae’s Slime Glue, in 2017 and was selling it on Amazon and in the paper store. She found immediate success and her customers wanted more, so she continued to expand her business. Now Maddie has a full line of slime products that can be found on her website!

Not only does Maddie haver her slime products, but she also hosted “slime bashes”. It almost is like a convention for slime. At her second bash, Maddie broke a Guinness World Record: The World’s largest Slime. These bashes were extremely successful, with all the tickets selling out.
Maddie is a great example of a young entrepreneur who jumped on a trend and took matters into her own hands. And was only 11 years old when she created a new product and started her own business. While the slime trend doesn’t have the fire it did a few years ago, it is still popular, and Maddie really took advantage of the opportunity that laid right in front of her.
This is so inspiring to see how young and creative she was. I think her marketing was really important as well in getting her product out there. The slime bashes were a fun and unique event, but they were also promoting her products at the same time. Great job with this and thank you for sharing!
Maddie Rae’s story is a great example of young entrepreneurship and creativity. At just 11 years old, she turned a slime supply shortage into a successful business by creating her own specialized glue. Maddie’s ability to innovate and expand her product line shows impressive business instincts for someone so young. Even though slime isn’t as popular as it was before, Maddie was able to make some great achievements, including breaking a Guinness World Record. She’s a great role model for kids and adults, proving that it doesn’t matter how old you are, you can still be a successful entrepreneur. Great post!
