Cool toy for children - "Lizun" or "Slime". Did you know it's easier than ever.

In this article, we will analyze the easiest ways to make a homemade handgum or slime yourself, and now a slime. But first we will tell (maybe someone does not know yet) what kind of miracle this is.

What is slime or slime?

Immediately Video:

Surely you have seen or even purchased such an unusual jelly “bad” for your child. It can still stretch and stretch, take any shape and not stick to your hands.

In the common people, this toy is called a "lizun", but in fact (where it came from - from the States) its name is in English "handgum" (handgum). It is not difficult to guess - "hand" (hand), and "gum" (chewing gum).

And today you can often hear - how to make Slime at home with your own hands? What is slime and what is it for? From English "Slime" is a children's toy made of jelly-like material, pleasant to the touch, able to stretch and assemble back to its original state.

Again, the same slime in a simple way! Slimers can make such a sticky jelly from any material with their own hands and improvised means (although for some you still have to go to a store or pharmacy).

And now let's start making a slime at home - we will make a slime like in a store or even better.

How to make slime (slime) at home without sodium tetraborate

There are several easy ways or recipes to make homemade slime without boron (sodium tetraborate). It's safe for your kids!

The easiest way - from water and starch without glue at all

All we need is starch and water. Mix both ingredients together in equal proportions or 2 parts water and 3 parts starch. And we get our homemade slime. For a firmer consistency, you need to add more starch. And in order for it to become bright - a dye.

You need to understand that such a toy will not be quite the one that we often see. But still, the kids will be happy. And use only warm water.

Slime made from starch and PVA glue

In this case, we need PVA glue and the freshest one is better. Separately, mix water and starch, then add dye (you can use sparkles with essential oils). Mix thoroughly without lumps. Lastly, pour in the glue. For convenience, use a bag instead of a container.

Ingredients: PVA glue - 50 mg, water - 100 mg, starch (you can use soda) - 1 tablespoon, dye ("brilliant green", gouache, food coloring).

The same can be done with baking soda used in the kitchen. That is, instead of starch with water, mix soda.

From shampoo and glue "Titan"

This time we take high-quality, not expired glue "Titan". You can find it at any hardware store.

Take a bag and pour two parts of shampoo (absolutely any) and three parts of glue into it. It is worth shaking a little until completely mixed and thickened, and the slime is ready. To make the toy look more beautiful, pour a little dye and glitter into the shampoo before glue.

How to make a slime (slime) at home - a store option

To make a slime at home, as in a store, we need an additional (main) ingredient - sodium tetraborate (both a liquid solution and a dry powder are suitable).

Main elements:

  • PVA glue - 100 grams,
  • 1 vial of sodium tetraborate (4%) or if the dry version - mix 1 tablespoon of the powder with half a glass of water,
  • dye for color option.

- Instead of tetraborate, you can use Borax powder, which is available for free purchase in pharmacies.

Manufacturing:

  • take a suitable container and pour glue into it (the more glue, the larger the toy),
  • carefully add the dye (do not overdo it, otherwise the slime will get dirty), mix until smooth,
  • slowly pour in the boron solution (so that the slime does not stick to your hands and is not liquid, you can add borax more than it should be), mix thoroughly and we get a jelly mass,
  • then, in order to remove excess moisture, it is worth blotting with a napkin (and for the future, when the child plays, it is best to put the handgam on paper - this way less lint and debris stick to it)
  • and the last - put the resulting clot in a bag and crumple for 3-5 minutes, and now it's time to play with it.
  • When making, do not use cold liquid (water or shampoo),
  • Try not to put it on products with pile (including cats and dogs),
  • Homemade slime, although safe, is not recommended to eat and put in your mouth,
  • To make it smell delicious, mix it with essential oils,
  • The sparkles inside the slime look very nice,
  • Choose a new adhesive base, and not lying somewhere on a shelf,
  • Store in a closed container and in a cool place
  • But even if the homemade slime is a little dry, place it in warm water.

And another DIY slime recipe - It's just a bomb!

Shaving foam slime - aqua

  • Pour 125 mg glue into a separate container. A prerequisite is that it must be thick and of good quality.
  • Add some emerald acrylic paint. Stir and get a thick dark mass.
  • It's time to lighten it - add shaving foam, a lot of foam. Gently mix the foam with the colored mass. Reminds me of ice cream or sweet cream.
  • Pour some water and 15 grams of boric acid into the jar, and a couple of drops of hand soap.
  • Stir with a wooden stick and the thickener is ready. Pour the mixture into the colored foam and stir again.
  • It turns out a real slime with your own hands.

Well, now, while we were typesetting this article, someone tested and made a slime at home with maximum performance.

The best and correct slime made by hand

  • Pour, again, as in the previous one, thick transparent glue - 125 milligrams.
  • Add hot pink acrylic paint. Stir until a uniform color.
  • Add a little bit of contact lens fluid and mix. In total, we poured about 10 grams.
  • Pour half a teaspoon or a large pinch of soda. As you knead, the mass begins to thicken and stretch. Great, she's completely behind the walls.
  • Next, knead with your hands until it stops sticking to your palms.
  • It turned out a cool soft and elastic slime. It does not stick, does not tear and stretches perfectly. It's great to play with him and you don't even want to let go of it. Reminds me of a huge pink chewing gum.

Probably one of the best recipes we've tried. Stretches into a thin film. You can blow bubbles out of it - that's how elastic it is.

For any slime, get a box with a lid - so it will last longer.
