Mix it, film it, post it, LOVE it! 

With WeCool Toys’ new Compound Kings Social Studio, kids can create their own picture-perfect slime photos and videos to share with their friends on social media. 

For those of you who are not in the know, slime videos are crazy popular on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. People post videos of slime stretching, swirling, mixing, mashing, and crunching — and they attract millions of viewers. Your kids can be the next slime-sation with the Social Studio hands-free video station. 

The kit includes the Social Studio, which is a pretty-in-pink device that kids can use to hold their phone in place as they capture their creative slime moments on camera. Plus, it comes with two colorful backgrounds — one pastel rainbow gradient and one with super cool polka dots — and an anti-reflecting background shield, so your videos are totally glare-free. Best of all? The slime doesn’t stick to the backgrounds OR the shield, so you can smoosh and squish all you want! 

And of course, slime videos are not complete without slime! The Social Studio comes with three packets of iridescent, scented, premade slime, along with four baggies of foam bead mix-ins and two bags of sparkly confetti mix-ins, plus a mixing tool to help with the creative process. The slime does not come in resealable bags, so be sure to have some ZipLocs handy. 


The Social Studio assembles in about 30 seconds. It doesn’t require ANY tools or batteries, so kids can play right out of the box. The device features a rotating head so kids can get the best angle, and the base is adjustable so you can move your phone closer or further away from your slime demonstration. 

While the Social Studio is age-graded 4 and up, it’s perfect for older kids who are looking to take their video content to the next level. Obviously, it does not include a smartphone, so you will definitely want to make sure you are buying this for a child who has their own phone or easy access to one. 

The entire process of setting up and using the Social Studio is extremely easy, kids will figure it out with no problem. It might take a little bit of finagling to get your phone in just the right spot, but once you’re there, you’re golden! 

And even though the Social Studio was designed with slime in mind, kids can also use it to create other kinds of tops-down videos, from manicure how-tos to cooking tutorials, to drawing or coloring compilations. They can get super creative with this handy, affordable tool. 

Well worth the $19.99 price tag, the Social Studio provides lots of play value and is perfect for the ever-hard-to-buy-for tween in your life.
