Where Creativity Meets Sensory Play

Hi! I'm Crystal Bowen, founder of 901 Slime Bar LLC, a licensed K–12 art teacher, entrepreneur, photographer, and future art therapist based in Memphis, Tennessee.

I started 901 Slime Bar because I believe children learn best through hands-on creativity. As an art teacher, I've seen how art builds confidence, encourages self-expression, and helps children develop important life skills.

My inspiration also comes from my family. My oldest son has sensory needs, and watching him enjoy sensory play inspired me to create an experience where every child feels included, successful, and free to explore their creativity.

Today, we bring our mobile slime experience to birthday parties, schools, festivals, libraries, daycares, and community events across the Mid-South.

More Than Just Slime

At 901 Slime Bar, slime is more than just fun—it's a hands-on learning experience.

Our activities encourage:

🎨 Creativity & imagination

🧠 Problem-solving

🤝 Social interaction

💚 Self-expression

✋ Fine motor skills

🌈 Sensory exploration

🔬 STEAM learning through science, art, engineering, math, and creativity

Hands-on sensory activities also engage the brain's natural reward system, helping children stay focused, motivated, and excited while they create.

Our Mission

Our mission is to inspire creativity, encourage sensory exploration, and bring families together through fun, interactive art experiences.

Every slime bucket is an opportunity to create, learn, and make lasting memories. As I continue my journey toward becoming an art therapist, I hope to provide experiences that are not only fun but also meaningful for children and families in our community.

Create. Mix. Play.
