What happens
Foggy night. Window open. Leo asleep in the Lego airport. Pip falls on the carpet, and whatever’s on the floor belongs to the floor.
Then the green stuff starts eating. Socks. The whole city. Pip. Maya’s pillow. And then it starts to climb.
Talk about it after
Questions for the morning, when it’s light out:
- What was the strangest thing the slime ate?
- What would you rescue off the floor first?
- Why is it a good idea to tidy up before bed?
Parent questions
Is The Squelching Slime too scary for my kid?
The Squelching Slime is a little braver than Episode 1 in Season 1 (scare level 2 of 3). Maya’s warning before the scary part: “A little braver than Episode 1. Grab a hand if you want one.” Nothing gory happens and the ending is safe. For a first listen, try it together.
How long is The Squelching Slime?
About 18 minutes.
What is the rule in The Squelching Slime?
“Whatever’s on the floor belongs to the floor.” Toys left on the floor at bedtime are fair game. Pick up what you love.
Where can I listen to The Squelching Slime?
Free on Spotify and other podcast apps. It’s Episode 2 of Maya and the Fog.
