If mom, if dad
We were gone for a while,
Don't rush to destroy the apartment,
There is a lesson for "five".
You and your friends will get together
(Three or four people) –
And let's go on the walls in the house
Throw super-lickers!

The first slime toy, or slime(slime) was released by Mattel back in 1976. And it has earned popularity due to its properties - both fluidity, elasticity and other unusual capabilities. Possessing characteristics of a non-Newtonian fluid, it quickly became popular with children and adults. And since it was not possible to buy it everywhere, they soon learned to reproduce the funny substance at home. At the request of readers, we will present one of the simple recipes for creating a slime toy in the article.

So, how to make slime at home

Making slime at home slightly different from the original. For example, guar gum is not as easy to purchase in a store as other ingredients. Therefore, we will take much more accessible substances. It will be:

1. PVA glue. White, preferably fresh, glue can be purchased at any office supply store, in the school supplies section. For making small slime we need about half a glass, about 100 grams. (Fresh – one to two months from the date of manufacture)
2. Water– ordinary tap water. If desired, you can take boiled, at room temperature. You will need a little more glass.
3. Sodium tetraborate, borax or borax. Can be purchased at a pharmacy in the form of a 4% solution.
4. Food coloring or a few drops of greenery. The original slime is green, and brilliant green is perfect as a coloring agent. If you wish, you can take a little beet juice or other natural coloring. However, it is worth remembering that a trace of the dye can remain on any surface used and on your hands. You can also experiment with different types of glitter.
5. Beaker, utensils and mixing stick. As a stick, you can take a pencil, spoon or any other suitable object.

Let's move on to the process itself.
– Dissolve a tablespoon of borax in a glass of water (or use a ready-made aqueous solution of borax, or with glycerin).
– Turn a quarter glass of water and a quarter glass of glue into a homogeneous mixture in another bowl. If desired, add dye there. However, you can do without it.
– While stirring the adhesive mixture, gradually add a borax solution, about half a glass. Stir until a jelly-like homogeneous mass is obtained.
– Let’s check the result: the thickened substance is, in fact, a slime toy. You can put it on the table, crush it, tear it and check all its original properties.

By experimenting with solutions, you can get a slime of varying elasticity - more “rubbery” or jelly-like. In any case, it is worth remembering that the creature is delicate and requires some care. You should regularly pay attention to it, do exercises with it, knead and twist it to train your “muscles”.
It is not recommended to feed the slime with salt or grated eraser (this happens). This can cause it to deteriorate, become liquid or, at a minimum, heterogeneous, and separate in its composition.

Keeping a funny animal - slime toy, stands strictly in a closed container. It may be plastic or glass jar, a box or even a durable plastic bag. Slimes love cool weather and dry quickly in the heat. If the toy begins to lose its properties - for example, to become fragile, you can add a little water to it. When this does not help, it is better to prepare the ingredients and make the slime again - for example, a different color, a stronger or more delicate consistency. And then write your reviews and impressions in the comments to see if everything worked out for you. Perhaps recommend something to other readers.

Those who prefer needlework of a different nature - for example, making soft toys themselves - will be interested in the assortment of the online store NataToys.ru. A talented team of needlewomen offers original kits for making funny little animals, decorative pillows and even fur coats for children. mobile phones.

Or just buy a kit and sew a cute soft pug, chihuahua or dachshund for your baby. Unlike slime toys, soft toys will not leave stains on the wallpaper. And you can play with them for much longer.

More recently, the film “Ghostbusters” captivated a multimillion-dollar audience of viewers to their TV screens. One of the main characters of the film was a funny character named Lizun, also known as slim and handgam, which is distinguished by the fact that it can spread, stretch and change its shape in different ways.

What can Lizun be made from?

Exist different ways, how to make Lizun from water and soda, plasticine, shampoo, glue. Of course, you can buy this toy in a store, but it’s much more interesting to make it yourself.

Slime is the happiness of children of the 90s of the last century and the nightmare of their parents. The toy received the name “lizun” after the release of the film “Ghostbusters”, where one of the characters bore this name. The little voracious ghost ate everything that came in his way, crashed into pieces at speed on all sorts of obstacles, and loved to give slobbery kisses. Children fell in love with the toy for its resemblance to this on-screen character. And now many of them are purchased as slimes in stores, and those who are more economical and inventive make their own at home.

What is this strange toy?

If you see a plastic jar or container on sale filled with a jelly-like substance with the words “Slime” or “Slime” on the packaging, then this is it. You can understand what it is only by holding the slime in your hands. It is soft to the touch, wrinkles and stretches well, sticks to the walls and then slides off them, often leaving greasy stains.

Left alone, the slime spreads over the surface in a puddle, but is easily gathered into a lump with your hands. It can stick to your hands, flow through your fingers, but become elastic when it hits a wall.

Initially, slime was made from guar gum, a polysaccharide, and sodium tetraborate, better known as borax. The result was a material similar to slime, but with the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid. It does not spread, is easy to assemble, and compacts upon impact.

There are many types of slimes, here are some of them:

Slime. The mass, similar to jelly, is usually transparent. Doesn't stick to your hands, flows through your fingers in long threads, and spreads over a hard surface into a puddle.

Mucus is soft and sticky

Antistress. This is mucus placed in an elastic shell covered with a mesh. Forms bubbles when pressed.

“Anti-struss” slime relieves nervous tension well

Gum for hands. More dense elastic mass. It is easy to wrinkle and stretch.

Chewing gum for hands is more dense and elastic

Jumper. The densest slime. It is less elastic, but resilient. Bounces off hard surfaces.

The elastic bouncer bounces well off hard surfaces

Fluffy slime. Fluffy and very pleasant to the touch. It wrinkles and stretches well.

Fluffy slime is the most fluffy and airy slime

Plasticine. Keeps its shape better than others. Due to its plasticity, various figures can be sculpted from it.

Plasticine holds its shape better than others

There are slimes that stick well to surfaces, matte, transparent, with foam balls, pearlescent, glowing, and in various colors.

Of course, you can buy such a toy in a store, but it’s more interesting to make it yourself using improvised materials. Moreover, this is not difficult to do.

How to make different types of slimes at home

What the industry uses to make modern slimes is not known for certain, but it is a fact that when sodium tetraborate is used in home production, the substance turns out to be very similar to a store-bought toy. Let's start with this recipe.

Made from sodium tetraborate and PVA glue

Let's prepare all the ingredients:

Now you can pick it up, pull it, crush it, throw it and put it back together - the slime is ready.

Advice! When choosing a dye, remember that some of them stain your hands.

With hair or shaving foam

Fluffy slime is made using the same recipe. To give the slime fluffiness, hair or shaving foam is added to the composition.

1. Pour the glue into a suitable container.
2. Attach foam to it. the amount depends on how fluffy the mass should be. Stir.
3. Add a dye, you can use aniline or any other. Mix thoroughly again.
4. Pour sodium tetraborate into the mixture little by little while stirring. As soon as the composition thickens enough and begins to lag behind the walls of the dish, you can pick it up and play.

The main condition for success in making this type is good glue. If it doesn’t thicken, all your work will go down the drain and nothing will work out.

From PVA glue and soda

But not only borax is used as a thickener. Baking soda performs this function perfectly.

1. Dissolve baking soda in a small amount of water.
2. Pour the glue into a bowl, add dye and mix.
3. Add little by little soda solution while stirring thoroughly. Wait for the mass to thicken. This will not happen right away, so don’t rush to add more soda solution.
4. Mash the finished mass in your hands. It will turn out even softer and more tender than the previous one, it wrinkles and stretches well.

Slime can be made shimmering by adding glitter to it.

Made from alcohol and silicate glue

Used to make slime and silicate glue. But the properties of the toy will be different.

1. Pour glue into a bowl and add color with any dye.
2. Stirring in a circular motion, add alcohol little by little. You will see how the mass thickens, forming dense lumps.
3. Leave the substance to rest for 20 minutes.
4. Gather into a ball and knead well with your hands. This slime will not stretch or stick; its consistency is quite dense. But he will make an excellent jumper.
5. Roll the mixture into a ball and try to hit it on the floor. The elastic ball bounces well off hard surfaces.

From starch and hydrogen peroxide

A hard bouncy ball can be easily made using ordinary starch. This does not require large expenses; the toy will cost pennies.

1. Mix 100 g of starch with 200 ml of hot water until a jelly-like mass is obtained.
2. Let cool and combine with 100 ml of PVA glue.
3. Add a suitable dye and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Mix everything well. Hydrogen peroxide will give the toy lightness and airiness.
4. Roll the resulting mass into a ball. The jumper is ready.

From Titan glue and shampoo

A simple way to make slime is with Titan glue. This glue is non-toxic, and after drying it does not lose elasticity.

1. Mix glue with shampoo in a ratio of 3:2. The color and transparency of the toy will depend on the shampoo. For greater color intensity, add dye.
2. Leave the mixture to thicken for a while, usually 5 minutes.
3. Lizun is ready. Simple and fast.

This recipe does not always yield the desired result; different shampoos behave differently. But it's worth a try, because you have nothing to lose.

Advice! Stir the mixture until it leaves the sides of the bowl and stops sticking to your hands. These are signs that the toy is ready.

From a glue stick

Another type of glue - pencil, is also quite suitable for this purpose. Here we again need sodium tetraborate.

1. To do this you will need 4 glue sticks. Remove the rods and place in a fireproof container.
2. Using a microwave or oven, melt the rods until a viscous mass forms.
3. Add dye to the glue mixture and mix.
4. In a separate bowl, dissolve borax in a small amount of water.
5. Add the solution to the glue little by little, stirring constantly, until the required consistency is obtained.

Two video recipes for making slime

Made from plasticine

Slime can be made not only from glue. A good and durable toy is made from plasticine.

You will need:

• plasticine - 100 g;
• gelatin - 15 g;
• water - 250 ml.

2. When the gelatin swells, bring it to a boil over low heat and immediately remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
3. Knead the plasticine until it becomes soft. Mix with remaining water.
4. Combine still warm gelatin with plasticine, mix well until smooth.
5. Place in the refrigerator for half an hour.

This toy can be given to children without fear, because it contains no harmful substances. There is a small problem: this type leaves greasy stains on the wallpaper. Make sure children don't throw it at walls.

From toothpaste and liquid soap

Quite safe option- slime made from toothpaste. You can use regular and gel paste.

1. Mix 20 ml of toothpaste and liquid soap with 5 teaspoons of flour.

Since this slime is made of water-soluble substances, keep it away from moisture. The warmth of your hands quickly softens the toy; it should be stored in the refrigerator. And do not allow it to come into contact with dust and dirt; it will not be possible to wash the slime. If treated with care, this toy will last about a month.

From hand cream and perfume

You can even make slime from hand cream. There is no guarantee that the toy will work, but it's worth a try.

1. Squeeze the cream into a bowl.
2. Add paint and mix.
3. Add perfume little by little and mix everything thoroughly. The mixture will begin to thicken.
4. Having achieved the desired consistency, knead the toy with your hands.

From flour

Parents are often afraid to give slime to young children for fear that they will put it in their mouth. For such a case, you can make a completely safe, edible slime without chemicals.

For this you will need:

• flour - 400 g;
• cold water - 50 ml;
• hot water - 50 ml;
• food coloring.

1. Sift the flour into a bowl and mix with the dry coloring.
2. Add cold water and stir again.
3. Pour in hot water, knead the resulting dough thoroughly. It should turn out smooth and without lumps.
4. Place the dough in the refrigerator for several hours.
5. Knead it well with your hands again.
