Ready! You have a galactic slime!
Only store slimes in airtight containers, otherwise the components will weather and the slime will dry out quickly, making it unsuitable for play.
Many slimes include dangerous for children chemical substances, so if the slime is being made, then carefully monitor how it will play. If the slime is in the baby's mouth, then there is a high probability of getting food poisoning!
Do not use cold water during the preparation of slimes, since it will not be possible to thoroughly mix the ingredients with such water. It will make the components hard, and they simply cannot connect to each other.
Dye, if you use liquid, add drop by drop. It is very easy to overdo it with them and eventually the slime will go bad, as it can stain your hands and all the objects that it touches.
What to do if the slime does not work
Very often there is such a nuisance as a bad result. Slime can easily fail if you use low-quality and expired materials.
- Often, many people are in a hurry and perform the cooking course in the wrong sequence. This can also affect the quality of the future slime. All instructions are step-by-step, you can not break them, and change them according to your preferences, only if you do not have a goal to spoil the slime.
- Perhaps you made a mistake and added some ingredients more, while others, on the contrary, less. It is best to use a kitchen scale and measuring cups. These attributes can help you meet the right amount ingredients.
- If there are lumps in your slime, then it can still be saved. Just keep kneading the mass with your hands, paying special attention to these lumps. It may take more time, but in the end you will get a quality slime.
- If the slime is, but at the same time it stretches well, then you should simply add a little more binder material to the mass. It can be sodium tetraborate, flour, starch, washing gel and other components. It all depends on the recipe for which you made the slime.

Conclusion
Slimes are not only fun to play with, but also fun to make! If you have a child older than six years old, you can invite him to participate in this process. So you can spend time usefully, and the child will be busy with useful activities and get a lot of fun.
There are an incredible number of options for preparing slimes, so you are sure to find exactly the one that only works well for you. And by connecting fantasy to the process, you can add various decorations, so that in the end you get a slime with an individual appearance that will not look like the rest.
Which of the children, and even adults, will deny themselves a funny game with a slime? Make it with my own hands It will take a little time, and even fewer materials will be needed. There are several ways to make such an interesting toy from scrap materials.
- Half a teaspoon of boron.
- A small bottle of colorless glue.
- Any harmless dye.
- Water.
To prepare the mass, from which the slime will eventually turn out, you need to take any two deep bowls. Be sure to need two containers, because a two-part solution is being prepared. Pour a glass of water into one bowl (take warm water) and add boron. The resulting mass should be well mixed to obtain a homogeneous consistency.
In the second bowl, you need to mix 100 milliliters of water, 30 grams of discolored glue. To give color, use a dye, it must be added at this stage. Once again, mix everything well.
Then you should mix the two components. To do this, carefully pour the contents of the first bowl into the second. In the process of connecting the two parts, the slime will gradually begin to acquire the correct consistency, and the whole mass will be stretchy.
The slime preparation process is over, you can proceed to exciting games, most importantly, make sure that children do not try it by mouth. You need to store such a slime in a well-closing container.
Making slimes from glue and starch
Making slime from glue and starch with your own hands
Another option that is even simpler than the previous one.
- Liquid starch.
- PVA glue.
- Plastic bag.
- Dye.
Lizun - This is a toy for children, so all materials should be as natural as possible. If you don't have food coloring, you can substitute it. gouache paints. Be careful, if the child is allergic to any dyes, you can make the slime colorless. Special attention you need to pay attention to the production time of the glue, it must be fresh, the slime will not work out of the old glue.
You need to take a tight plastic bag and pour about 70 milliliters of liquid starch into it. Often such starch is used during washing, this is how it differs from food starch. If this is not the case, then you can take the usual one, only it should be diluted: one part of water to two parts of starch.
Following the starch, send a few drops of natural dye into the bag, the main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise, during the games, the slime will stain not only the hands, but also the surface.
Next, you need to add about 25 grams of PVA glue (be sure to mix the bottle with glue well beforehand).
Now it is good to close or tie the bag and mix thoroughly until the contents look like a thick mass.
You may not be able to achieve the right consistency right away. Don't despair right away, because the alteration will only take a few minutes. The main thing is to find golden mean and mix all the ingredients in the correct proportions.
Store also in a closed container to protect from dust. The service life of such a slime is about a week.
Lizun from soda
Such a toy can be given to children only in the presence of adults. This is due to the fact that it contains detergent. It is necessary to make sure that after the games the child thoroughly washed his hands.
- Detergent.
- Baking soda.
- Water.
- Natural dye.
Pour a small amount of detergent into the prepared dishes, add water and dye. With these ingredients, you can also adjust the density of the resulting mass simply by adding water or detergent.
In the resulting mass, add soda and mix well. The resulting mixture should have sufficient density. If too much soda is added, you can dilute it with water to the desired consistency.
The color of the resulting slime can be adjusted by adding dyes. That's all, the soda slime is ready for play. Make sure that the child does not taste such a toy.
Another easy way to make slime.
- Your favorite shampoo
- Shower gel or dish detergent.
In prepared dishes, mix equal amounts of shampoo and shower gel or dish detergent. All ingredients should be of a homogeneous consistency, and not contain any additional substances, such as scrub particles, which are often added to shower gels. The color of the slime you get will depend on the materials used.
All components must be mixed well and put them in the same container in which they were mixed in the refrigerator. The resulting mass should be there for at least a day, only after this time the slime will harden to the correct consistency, and it will be possible to play with it. It must be stored only in the refrigerator so that it does not melt and does not lose its shape, in a closed container.
Make sure that the slime stays clean, if there is a lot of dust on it, then it should be thrown away and a new one should be prepared. This toy will last about one month.
Making such slimes at home is not difficult. The only nuance that needs to be taken into account is that for its manufacture you need to take a non-flowing washing powder, but a gel-like one. Unfortunately, it cannot be replaced. liquid soap, nor shower gel, because these products contain other components.
- Gel laundry detergent.
- Office glue.
- Natural dye.
- Medical or other thin rubber gloves.
- Storage container.
It is necessary to pour about one-fourth cup of clerical glue into the prepared container. Glue can be more or less, it depends only on your preferences in the size of the slime. The more glue, the bigger slime you get.
Add a natural dye of the desired color to the glue and mix the components well so that the glue acquires a uniform color.
In the resulting mass, you need to add 40 grams of gel-like powder. Again, mix well the resulting mass. Over time, this mass will become sticky and will have the consistency of putty. Make sure that the mass does not get too thick. If this happens, then a few drops of powder should be added.
Next, you need to put on gloves, get the resulting mass from the container and start kneading. The process is approximately the same as if you were kneading dough. During kneading, excess liquid will come out of the slime, if any, and the mass will become soft and elastic.
Store the resulting slime in a tightly closed container. If you notice that it has begun to melt or has become too soft, then you can send it to the refrigerator.
Slime from flour
This cooking option is most suitable for young children. If you use dyes from natural substances, then it becomes completely harmless and not dangerous to the health of the baby. The only disadvantage of these dyes is that they are not so bright, but harmless.
- Regular flour.
- Hot water.
- Cold water.
- Natural dye.
It is necessary to take a small bowl and pour 400 grams of flour into it. You can sift it through a sieve, so the future mass will be more homogeneous and easier to knead.
Then we add a quarter cup of warm water to it, it should be just warm, you can not pour boiling water.
When the mass is well mixed, you can add a few drops of natural dye to it and mix well again. As a result, the mass should turn out sticky.
We send to a cold place for 4 hours. When the whole mass has cooled down and acquired the desired shape, you can let the children play.
A very interesting slime can turn out if you make it magnetic, it also has the property of glowing in the dark. There is no need to buy such a slime in the store, you can easily make it yourself.
- Already familiar boron.
- Water.
- Office glue.
- iron oxide.
- neodymium magnet.
Mix everything very carefully until the boron is completely dissolved in water. It's cooked in one pot.
In the second bowl, you need to mix 10 milliliters of water and 30 grams of stationery glue. As before, everything is mixed very well and a coloring matter is added to the resulting mass. If you add paint at this stage, which contains phosphorus, you get a slime that glows in the dark.
Carefully mix the two components of the future slime into a homogeneous mass. The main thing is not to rush and mix everything well, then the mass will turn out to be the desired density.
The resulting mass must be decomposed into flat surface, and add iron oxide to its middle.
Lizun, which will be magnetized, is ready. Now it can be moved with a magnet on a flat surface.
Sometimes situations happen that it seems that all the ingredients are correct and the instructions have not deviated, but the slime still did not work out. It's all about the parts you used to make it. Each material is significantly different, various firms manufacturers, using the same components, can produce a product at the output that is not similar to its counterpart. Therefore, you should not strictly adhere to the described proportions, depending on your materials, their amount may differ. Don't give up right away, just experiment.
Lizun, which meets all standards, should be removed in a homogeneous mass without much effort from the dishes where you store it.
If your toy is very sticky, this can be seen from the threads that will follow the spoon. When you touch it with your fingers, it is too sticky and does not lag behind well, you need to dilute it slightly. This can be done with water or starch.
When your slime stretches, but practically does not stick, it means that, on the contrary, there is too much liquid. To give density, you need to add a little glue or the main ingredient that was used for cooking.
Do not be afraid to experiment, only by trial and error you will be able to choose the right consistency, and your children will enjoy a new, and most importantly, toy that is absolutely not harmful to the health of the baby.

Cool toy for children - "Lizun" or "Slime". Did you know it's easier than ever.
In this article, we will analyze the most simple ways how to make homemade handgam or slime yourself, and now 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 boron-free slime (sodium tetraborate) at home. 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 to remove excess moisture it’s worth getting wet with a napkin (and for the future, when the child plays, it’s 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. Required condition- it should 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 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.

- 1 pack of plasticine;
- 1 pack of edible gelatin;
- container for mixing;
- spatula for mixing ingredients;
- metal container.
So, we take dishes made of metal and soak a pack of gelatin in it, which we fill with cold water and leave alone for 60 minutes. Then we heat the substance and remove it from the heat at the first boil. In a plastic bowl, mix with a spatula 100 gr. plasticine softened in the hands and 50 ml of water.
Pour the swollen gelatin into the plasticine mixture and stir until a viscous plastic substance is obtained. We put the container in the refrigerator and wait until everything hardens. Slime is ready!
This slime preparation option is environmentally friendly, which is why parents often stop their attention on it. Stock up to get started warm water and starch in equal proportions. Then they are thoroughly and for quite a long time mixed until an ideally plastic and homogeneous consistency is formed.
To make the slime bright and interesting, you can add a dye to the raw materials, which is used as potassium permanganate, brilliant green, gouache or any food coloring. Such a toy sticks perfectly to any surface, but the downside is that it is not able to bounce and bounce. So, despite the complete safety, such a slime will not appeal to all children.
How to make slime from shampoo (without titanium and PVA glue and without starch)
This is a fairly simple method in which to create a slime, you need to take 200 ml of any shampoo (even the cheapest one can be) and 300 ml of Titan glue. Mix these 2 ingredients until a homogeneous mass is formed. It is better to do this in a tight bag, where shampoo is first poured in, and then powdered glue is poured in a ratio of 2: 3.
The package is securely tied and shaken. After the substance begins to thicken, leave the bag alone for 5-10 minutes. Then you can get the mass and make slimes out of it. In the process of mixing, dyes can be added to the components: the slime will turn out funny and bright.
This method is considered one of the most popular, and the resulting fun has little difference from store toys. Prepare for work:
- paint (food coloring, gouache or brilliant green);
- fresh PVA glue (100 gr.).
- 4% solution of borax or borax (sodium tetraborate).
If you are interested in where to buy borax, then today this is not a problem. It is sold in any pharmacy, in stores with radio equipment and chemical reagents.
Manufacturing steps:
- Warm water to room temperature and fill ¼ of a glass.
- Gradually add PVA glue to the water. Important: the consistency of the slime depends on how much glue was used. If you want the toy to be more elastic, feel free to add more glue.
- Mix water and glue thoroughly.
- Now add sodium tetraborate. When using a solution, 1 vial is enough for you, and if a powder is purchased, then it is pre-dissolved in a ratio of 0.5 tbsp. water to 1 tbsp. l. dry borax.
- It's time to add the dye.
- When everything is thoroughly mixed, pour the resulting mass into the bag and start kneading. The toy is ready!
Most often, children demand toys when their parents are not ready for it. And if you didn’t have potassium tetraborate at home, then this method just for you! Keep in mind that such a slime will last only a few days, but most often more is not required. To work, you will need PVA glue, dye, a mixing spatula and soda.
Important: If you plan to knead the slime with your hands, be sure to wear latex gloves. In a plastic bowl, mix 50 gr. glue and ¼ cup a little warm water, then add the dye and carefully move the mass again. Separately, mix 1 tbsp. l. baking soda and ¼ cup room temperature water. Carefully pour the soda solution into the mixture of glue and water. After mixing, the slime is ready.
How to make slime without starch
The main component of such a toy is baking flour, so the slime is completely safe. For work you will need:
- hot and cold water;
- dye;
- flour.
AT plastic utensils Sprinkle a couple of cups of flour and pour ¼ of a cup of chilled water over it. Immediately after this, pour ¼ cup of hot water into the mixture, but in no case boiling water. Then everything is mixed until a plastic mass without lumps is obtained and, if necessary, a dye is added. The substance should feel sticky to the touch. Now it remains to place it in the refrigerator for 2 hours, and then feel free to play!
Cheap and effective method allows you to get a solid slime that does not change shape well, but jumps well. For work, take a dye, hydrogen peroxide, 100 gr. PVA glue, 100 gr. starch or soda and 1 glass of water.
In a plastic container, first mix starch with water (1: 1) to a jelly-like state, then add glue there and mix. It is necessary to add a small amount of hydrogen peroxide and dye to the mass, mix everything again and get a light and airy toy.
Lizun from alcohol
This original way suggests the presence of water, dye, polyvinyl alcohol and borax (sodium tetraborate). Important: regular vodka or rubbing alcohol is not suitable, so do not even think about changing the ingredients.
Polyvinyl alcohol is a powdered substance that is mixed with water and put on fire. The mass is boiled for 40-45 minutes with constant stirring over very low heat, since burning cannot be allowed. Then the mixture should cool, and at this time, mix 1 cup of water and 2 tbsp. l. sodium tetraborate until completely dissolved. The resulting mixture must be filtered, and then carefully pour into the alcohol mass in a ratio of 1:3. Want a bright slime? Add dye and start playing!
How to make slime from pva, sodium tetraborate and water
This is the most hard way, since it requires the purchase of special ingredients, but let's say right away that the result is the best in comparison with all of the proposed ones. You will need:
Pour the PVA into the water slowly and in a thin stream, stirring constantly.
Now it's the tetraborate's turn. If you bought a ready-made solution, then add the entire vial (100 ml) to the mixture, but if there is a powder, dilute it to the required amount, following the instructions on the package (most often this is a tablespoon of powder in half a glass of water).
Stirring the resulting mass, add the dye and transfer the mixture to the bag.
Now it remains only to carefully knead the slime with your hands. It turns out exactly like the store version
Note! If next time you want the slime to be more elastic, take a little more glue.
How to make slime from washing powder
For this method, only liquid washing gel is suitable.
It should be added in the amount of two tablespoons to a quarter cup of PVA glue and dye pre-mixed in a bowl, and then knead like dough until the mass begins to take the desired shape well and becomes plastic.
Note!!! Work only in rubber gloves, and after the game thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water.
How to make a DIY magnetic slime
Mysterious light in the dark and the ability to be attracted to a magnet? Even older kids will like such a slime, and making it is just as easy as in the previous versions.
You will need:
- sodium tetraborate;
- water;
- fresh PVA glue;
- iron oxide;
- dye with phosphorus;
- Neodymium magnets;
- convenient container.
Dissolve half a spoonful of tetraborate in a glass of water. Separately mix 30 gr. PVA and half a glass of water. Slowly pour in the phosphor paint, then mix both mixtures until smooth. Lizun is ready, the matter is small - it remains to give him the ability to be attracted to a magnet. To do this, you need to level the resulting mass and sprinkle it with iron oxide, and then knead thoroughly.
If the toy didn't work
Correctly selected the main ingredients, kneaded thoroughly, but the result is not the same? Do not despair. Remember that a lot depends on the manufacturer, and even a minimal deviation from the prescribed norm can give a negative result. Experiment and get perfect combination and also keep in mind that:
- if the slime is too sticky, you need to add a little water and starch;
- if the toy stretches but does not stick to the surface, there is too much liquid in it, which means you need to add glue.
Be sure to try making your own slime. An interesting toy, which is also completely safe, will appeal to both adults and children.
Handgum is a wonderful entertainment that can be done by the whole family. This will not only please the baby, but also unite the family. Have fun to your health!
Let's talk about the favorite toy of all children - the slime! A toy with such an unattractive name is a sticky-wet, jelly-like mass bright color and odorless. Lizun does not mold like plasticine, although it has a certain plasticity, but it adheres well to surfaces, slowly sliding off them. This ability and pleasant to the touch texture have made this seemingly unremarkable mass one of the most famous inventions in the gaming industry.
The history of handgam
The ancestor of the substance known in the countries former USSR called "lizun", became an acid-green slime toy, which was produced by the Slime company.
The name "lizun" stuck to the slime after the release of the film "Ghostbusters" on television. The ghost, after whom this jelly-like toy was named, had a shape similar to it.
The beneficial effect of handgam on the development of the child
Another of the names of this sensational sticky plasticine is hendgam, which means "hand" and "chewing gum" in translation.
Scientists who have studied the handgam claim that playing with it has a beneficial effect on development fine motor skills hands and can serve as a relaxing massage.
So, how to please a child with such a wonderful toy that develops imagination and motor skills? Of course, you can go and buy it in almost any store, but it's safer and more interesting to make it yourself.
About how to make a slime at home without or with it with your own hands, and will be discussed in our article.
Safety rules for the manufacture of handgam
Before you learn from sodium tetraborate, let's get acquainted with the basic safety rules, as their failure to comply can be fraught with serious health problems:
Wear an apron (or clothing that you don't mind) and gloves, as you will be using dyes when working.
If you are making "smart" plasticine together with your child, make sure that glue and borax do not get into his stomach. If these ingredients are ingested, rinse and consult a physician.
For the mixture of ingredients, use dishes from which, after the completion of the process, you will not eat.
The shelf life of a homemade slime can be from a week to two weeks, depending on the ingredients that make up its composition.
Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after playing.
How to make such a toy with your own hands at home? Slime without sodium tetraborate or with it is made in approximately the same way, as will be described later in the article. The safety precautions are the same for all methods.
We make "smart" plasticine from sodium tetraborate
There are many ways to make handgam yourself, today we will analyze the most common of them.
Lizun from sodium tetraborate is considered the most durable. To increase its shelf life, strictly follow the manufacturing technology and choose the highest quality materials.
By the way, tetraborate itself is an antiseptic, so if a child drops a slime, which includes this substance, you don’t have to worry.
You can buy a solution of borax in a pharmacy, in hardware stores, in stores for creativity, and even in the construction market.
There are two ways to create a handgam from sodium tetraborate - with water and without water. In the first case, your slime will turn out a little transparent, in the second - more matte.
Method without using water
Materials and ingredients you will need:
PVA glue - 1 bottle.
Wooden stick.
Cooking method:
Pour the glue into the container (all or only part, depending on how many and what size slimes you want to get).
While constantly stirring the glue with a wooden stick, add 1 drop of borax solution to it until the mixture reaches the desired consistency.
Add a couple of drops of gouache or and mix thoroughly with rubber-gloved hands.
Slime from sodium tetraborate, made according to this recipe, if necessary, can be washed with water.
Water method
The materials you will need to make a toy like a slime from sodium tetraborate:
A glass of cold water.
PVA glue - 1 bottle.
Sodium tetraborate (aka borax solution), it is better that it be its solution in glycerin, - a few drops.
Food coloring or gouache.
A container in which you will mix everything.
Wooden stick.
Cooking method:
Mix glue and water in a container at the rate of 1:1.
Pour in a lot of dye.
Mix everything thoroughly.
Add two drops of borax solution and stir until smooth.
If the mass is too liquid, then add a little more sodium tetraborate.
Slime from sodium tetraborate is stored in the refrigerator, in an air-tight package. When your homemade "smart" plasticine hardens, add some water to it.
If you want a clear slime, replace the PVA glue in this recipe with stationery clear glue.
Slime, which includes glue and starch
If you think a toy that includes sodium tetraborate is unsafe and unsuitable for playing with a child, or if you couldn’t buy a solution of borax, then your option is a slime at home without sodium tetraborate.
Materials required to make handgam:
Liquid starch for washing clothes (if you do not find starch in liquid form, dilute it yourself in a ratio of 1: 3).
Food coloring or gouache.
Tight file.
Cooking method:
Pour 85 ml of liquid starch into a clean, dry file.
Send a little gouache or a couple of drops of food coloring to the starch.
Pour 30 ml of PVA glue into the resulting mixture.
Knead the mixture in the file with your hands, stirring it carefully.
After most of the composition turns into a thick slippery clot and a little liquid remains at the bottom of the bag, remove the slime from the bag and remove excess moisture from it with paper or a rag.
Slime is ready.
If you see that the slime is too sticky or completely non-plastic, then you have calculated the proportions incorrectly (in the first case there is an excess of glue in it, in the second - starch).
Remember that in addition to harmless starch, such a toy contains glue, so make sure that the child does not put it in his mouth.
It is important to know not only how to make slime without sodium tetraborate, but also how and how much to store it in the future: store it in a closed container at room temperature for no more than a week.
Lizun from soda and detergent
There are a huge number of ways to create "smart" plasticine, similar in its properties to the world famous slime toy.
If your goal is a slime without sodium tetraborate and glue, then we have a couple more options, here is one of them.
Materials and tools you need:
Dishwashing liquid (like Fairy).
Baking soda.
Food coloring or gouache.
Wooden stick (a sushi stick works great).
Cooking method:
Pour 150 ml of detergent into the container.
Add 1 tbsp. l. soda.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly.
In the resulting mixture, add as much water as needed so that the resulting consistency suits you.
Add a few drops of dye (this item is optional, because often the dishwashing detergent already has a fairly bright color, which is transferred to the slime).
Lizun without PVA glue and sodium tetraborate is ready. Keep it in the refrigerator.
Slime with the longest shelf life
As you probably already noticed, all the homemade slimes described above have a rather short shelf life (no more than 2 weeks), this is due to the fact that they contain almost no preservatives and substances that will protect them from drying out.
If you want to make a handgam with a longer shelf life, then we have such a recipe. The duration of the existence of "smart" plasticine, the manufacturing method of which we will now describe, is from 1 to 2 months.
By the way, for this recipe you will need very few ingredients, and you almost certainly have them at home:
Transparent bright color without granules.
Transparent shampoo of bright color.
Mixing container.
Wooden stick.
Cooking method:
Pour 150 ml of shampoo into a container.
Add 150 ml of shower gel to the shampoo.
Stir the ingredients thoroughly and gently, making sure that foam does not form.
Put the container with the future slime in the refrigerator for a day.
Such a slime must be stored in the refrigerator, otherwise it will simply melt. As in all other cases, make sure that your child does not taste hendgam and thoroughly wash his hands after playing with him.
The safest slime
If all the above methods do not seem safe to you and do not inspire confidence in you, but you want to please the child, then we suggest you make a beautiful and interesting toy(Slime) Free of Sodium Tetraborate and Starch, No Shampoo, No Dishwashing Liquid, No Glue or washing powder.
The shelf life of such a toy is not very long, and it differs markedly from the original in terms of appearance, but it is safe, and you can be sure that nothing will happen to your child, even if he takes handgams in his mouth.
So, here are the ingredients that you need to make safe "smart" clay:
Wheat flour.
Hot water.
Boiling water.
Container for mixing ingredients.
Fork or whisk.
Food coloring (you can even use beet juice or, for example, spinach).
Cooking method:
Pour 4 cups of flour into the container prepared in advance, sifting it through a sieve.
Add half a glass of ice water to the flour.
Pour half a glass of boiling water there.
Mix everything as thoroughly as possible, the mixture should be smooth and without lumps.
Now it's the turn of the dye: add a few drops to the mixture and mix everything again.
Put your future safe slime in the refrigerator for 3-4 hours.
Lizun is ready, now you can be calm for your child.
other methods
There are many more ways to make slimes. Here are some of them: from washing powder, from a solution of borax and dry (but such a handgam needs to be boiled), from plasticine and gelatin, magnetic, etc.
In this article, we tried to describe in as much detail and clearly as possible several completely different, but at the same time very simple ways to make slimes. We hope we were able to answer all your questions.
