This slime is also called FLAFFY slime.

It is prepared from:

  • Shaving foam;
  • Silicate glue;
  • Liquid soap;
  • Sunflower oil;
  • Sodium tetraborate;
  • Dye and glitter (if desired).

In the following way:

  1. Shaving foam is added to the glue.
  2. Shuffled.
  3. Soap, oil, 0.5 tablespoons of boron are added to the resulting mass.
  4. Shuffled.
  5. It is kneaded by hands until fully cooked.

How to make from boric acid

Since the cost of boric acid is not large, the recipe is quite budgetary.

  • Boric acid;
  • Dye;
  • PVA glue.

Process of creation:

  1. The amount of glue poured will determine the size of the future slime.
  2. Dye is added and mixed.
  3. Boric acid is added dropwise with stirring.
  4. For a better distribution of all components, the slime is washed with your hands.

What to do if the slime does not work

There are times when self-preparation of slime does not give the desired result. It is important to understand that the following factors influence the final result:

  • The quality of the materials used;
  • Compliance with proportions;
  • Step by step actions.

If the slime has turned out, then its mass will be homogeneous, uniform and easily accessible from the container.

If the slime is not homogeneous, then it is possible to save it by continuing to actively knead it until it acquires the necessary ductility and uniformity.

If the slime is very sticky and stretches after the spoon like cobweb threads, then you can try adding a little liquid starch or water, depending on the recipe. This will liquefy the consistency.

But if there is viscousness, but the slime simply slides off the hands without sticking to them, then it means there is an excess of liquid in it. In order to get rid of it, it is necessary to drain these surpluses, but you can add the necessary binder according to the recipe (glue, boron solution, flour). Mix everything again well.

How to keep the slime longer or proper care for the slime.

So what does it include proper care behind the slime.

To do this, you need to acquire:

  • nutrition;
  • a house;
  • a bath;
  • give him a place to play with him;
  • place in the refrigerator.

Meals include two basic salt, water, and an additional component of an eraser piece (optional).

The daily diet is 1 to 5 pinches of salt. It is required to slightly cover the bottom of the jar with water during storage. After which everything needs to be well closed, shaken. You can add some eraser pieces.

The slime house is a tight-fitting jar.

A slime can get pregnant, it will look like the appearance of small blisters all over the slime. If this happens, then it is worth putting the slime in a jar and leaving it for 4 days. After this time has elapsed, check if a small color spot, it means that the baby was "born". It needs to be separated by placing it in another jar.

Bathing is mandatory for this in a bowl with a small amount of water, the slime should be washed after which it must be removed to the house.

Frequent games are not desirable, since due to its structure, it absorbs all the dirt and dust that surrounds it. This reduces its size.

Slime is the happiness of children of the 90s of the last century and the nightmare of their parents. The toy received the name "slimer" after the release of the film "Ghostbusters", where one of the characters bore this name. The small voracious ghost ate everything that came in its path, crashed at speed into a cake on all kinds of obstacles and loved to kiss slobberly. For the resemblance to this on-screen character, the toy fell in love with children. And now many of them are purchased with slimes in stores, and those who are more economical and more inventive make their own at home.

What is this strange toy

If you see on sale a plastic jar or container filled with a jelly-like substance with the inscription "Slime" or "Slime" on the package, then this is it. You can only understand what it is by picking up the slime. It is soft to the touch, wrinkles and stretches well, sticks to walls, and then slides off them, often leaving greasy stains.

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

Initially, slime was made from guar gum, a polysaccharide, and sodium tetraborate, better known as borax. The result was a mucus-like material with the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid. It does not spread, easily collects, and when struck, it compresses.

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

Slime. A jelly-like mass is usually transparent. Does not stick to hands, flows through fingers in long threads, spreads over hard surface into a puddle.

The mucus is soft and stringy

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

Slime "antistruss" relieves nervous tension well

Gum for hands. A denser elastic mass. It is easy to wrinkle and stretch.

Chewing gum for hands is more dense and elastic

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

The resilient bouncer bounces off hard surfaces well

Fluffy slime. Fluffy and very pleasant to the touch. Crumples well, stretches.

Fluffy slime is the most lush and airy slime

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

Plasticine keeps its shape better than others.

There are slimes that adhere well to surfaces, matte, transparent, with foam balls, mother-of-pearl, luminous, of various colors.

Of course, such a toy can be bought in a store, but it is more interesting to make it yourself from improvised means. Moreover, this is not difficult at all to do.

How to make different types of slimes at home

What the industry makes modern slimes from is not known for certain, but what when using sodium tetraborate with homemade the substance turns out to be very similar to a purchased toy - a fact. Let's start with this recipe.

From sodium tetraborate and PVA glue

Let's prepare all the ingredients:



Now you can take it in hand, pull it, crush it, throw it and collect it again - the slime is ready.

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

With foam for hair or shaving

Fluffy slime is made according to the same recipe. To make the slime fluffy, a hair or shaving foam is added to the composition.

  1. Pour the glue into a suitable container.
  2. Attach the foam to it. the amount depends on how fluffy the mass should be. Stir.
  3. Add 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 dishes, you can pick it up and play.

The main condition for success in the manufacture of this type is good glue... If it does not thicken, all work will go down the drain, nothing will work.

From PVA glue and soda

But not only borax is used as a thickener. This function is excellent for baking soda.

  1. Dissolve the baking soda in a little water.
  2. Pour the glue into a bowl, add the dye and stir.
  3. Add the soda solution little by little while stirring thoroughly. Wait for the mass to thicken. This will not happen right away, so do not rush to add more soda solution.
  4. Knead the prepared 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 shimmery by adding glitter to it

Alcohol and silicate glue

Used for making slime and silicate glue. But the properties of the toy will be different.

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

From starch and hydrogen peroxide

A hard bouncing ball is easy to make using ordinary starch. This does not require large expenses, the toy will cost a penny.

  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 bouncer is ready.

From titanium glue and shampoo

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

  1. Mix the glue and shampoo in a 3: 2 ratio. The color and clarity of the toy will depend on the shampoo used. Add dye for more color intensity.
  2. Leave the mixture to thicken for a while, usually 5 minutes.
  3. The slime is ready. Simple and fast.

This recipe does not always manage to get the desired result; different shampoos behave differently. But it’s worth a try, because you don’t lose anything.

Advice! Stir the mixture until it will not lag behind the walls of the dish and no longer stick to your hands. These are signs that the toy is ready.

From glue stick

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

  1. To do this, you need 4 pieces of glue stick. Remove the rods and place in a fireproof dish.
  2. Using the microwave or oven, melt the rods until a viscous mass is formed.
  3. Add dye to the glue mass, mix.
  4. In a separate bowl, dissolve borax in a little water.
  5. Add the solution to the glue little by little with constant stirring until the desired consistency is obtained.

Two video recipes for cooking slime

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.
  1. Soak gelatin in 200 ml of cold water using a fireproof dish.

  3. Mash the clay to soften it. Mix with remaining water.
  4. Combine the still warm gelatin with plasticine, mix well until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
  5. Place in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Such a toy can be safely given to children, because there are no harmful substances in its composition. There is a small problem: this look leaves greasy stains on the wallpaper. Make sure children do not throw it into walls.

From toothpaste and liquid soap

A completely safe option is a toothpaste slime. You can use regular and gel paste.

  1. Mix 20 ml each toothpaste and liquid soap with 5 teaspoons of flour.
  2. Stir so that there are no lumps first with a spoon and then with your hands. To prevent the mass from sticking to your hands, moisten them with water and knead well again.

From soap and shampoo

For the next type, you need only two ingredients that can be found in any home. It is a liquid soap and hair shampoo.

  1. Mix liquid soap and shampoo in equal proportions until smooth.
  2. Place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  3. Get it out and have fun.

As this slime is composed of water-soluble substances, keep it dry. The toy softens quickly from the warmth of the hands; it must be stored in the refrigerator. And do not allow contact with dust and dirt, it will not be possible to wash the slime. With a careful attitude, such a toy will last about a month.

From hand cream and perfume

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

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

Of flour

Often, parents are afraid to give slime to young children for fear that they will pull it into their mouths. 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 flour into a bowl, mix with dry color.
  2. Add cold water, stir again.
  3. Pour in hot water, knead the resulting dough well. It should come out smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Refrigerate the dough for a few hours.
  5. Knead well again with your hands.

Not all products and substances are suitable for making slime. Not everything that looks like a slime has necessary properties... In order not to make mistakes, watch the video.

Video experiments on making slimes from different ingredients

How to give the slime the desired properties

Even if the slime is not what you wanted, you can fix it.

  1. The vinegar will make the toy more elastic. Pour in a few drops and the slime will stretch better.
  2. By adding hydrogen peroxide, you get a fluffy mass, this is how fluffy slime is made.
  3. A few drops of glycerin will help make the toy slippery.
  4. Glowing Slime can be obtained using fluorescent paint.
  5. If the slime is too soft, place it in a jar, put a few crystals of salt there, close the lid tightly and leave it overnight. The salt will pull out excess water and will return elasticity to the toy.
  6. Slime that is too hard will be softer if you put it in a container overnight and pour in a few drops of water.
  7. To make the toy smell good, flavor it essential oil, food flavoring or vanilla.
  8. Magnetic slime can be made by adding fine metal filings or iron oxide to it. Knead the toy well to distribute the additive evenly. And then your slime, as if alive, will reach for any magnet.
  9. An antistress toy is made by putting mucus in a balloon. This can be done with a large syringe without a needle.
  10. To enlarge the slime, place it in a container of water for 3 hours. Do not be alarmed if it falls apart, it should be. Add some salt and hand or body cream. Stir. Slime will not only restore elasticity, but also become larger.

Advice! Add multi-colored to the soft slime foam balls... This will make it colorful and increase in volume.

Storage and care rules

Slime is a capricious toy and its life span is short. To prolong it, you need to know how to properly store and care for the slime.

  1. The slime is kept in plastic container with a tightly closed lid.
  2. To prevent the slime from drying out, keep it away from heat sources, do not leave it in the sun.
  3. Dried slime can be revived with a drop of water, wet with salt.
  4. You need to play with the slime. Long storage can lead to mold. Such a toy will have to be thrown away.
  5. Frequent use will lead to rapid contamination of the toy and loss of properties.
  6. Avoid contact with fuzzy surfaces, the slime will collect hairs and become unusable.

Lizunas are not just a children's toy, some species have and practical use... For example, they can clean a computer keyboard or clothes from adhering debris. Elastic develop fine motor skills, increase the strength of the fingers. And they just calm down, relieve stress and give good mood... Make slimes and play, it's so exciting!

Slime is a funny children's toy. The tacky wonder sticks easily to a hard surface and takes on a variety of shapes. The content of sodium tetraborate in the toy is alarming for parents and children are refused to buy it. Try to make a slime with your own hands without harmful substance, a safe toy will delight the kid and bring him pleasure from the game.

We make a slime from glue and starch without sodium tetraborate

Prepare:

  • starch. With liquid starch, no water is required;
  • half a glass of water;
  • a few drops of gouache or food coloring;
  • enameled dish;
  • spoon or stick;
  • plastic bag;
  • 100 g PVA glue.

Pour warm water into a bowl and carefully add the starch. Stir with a spoon without stopping. Pour enough starch so that the mixture comes out thick, but without lumps and not solid. Add the dye and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

Transfer the mixture to a bag and add glue. Shake the sachet to mix well. Shake until you get a viscous, homogeneous mass. Drain off excess liquid carefully. Store the finished toy in a container with a tight lid, otherwise it will dry out. If it is dry, place it in warm water for 5 minutes, and the sticky lump will become as good as new.

Making shampoo slime without sodium tetraborate

Take any shampoo, a little color and Titan glue. The fresher the glue, the better the sticky slime will be. Shampoo will give your toy a pleasant scent. Prepare a plastic bag, use rubber gloves for work. Next, your actions are as follows:

  • put glue, shampoo in a bag and drip a little color or add food coloring. The ratio of glue to shampoo is three to two;
  • mix everything until you get a viscous and thick mass;
  • put the sticky miracle on a napkin and let it sit and harden.

Give the slime to the child, and the child enjoys an exciting game.


We make a slime from gelatin and plasticine without sodium tetraborate

Prepare 100 g of plasticine, 20 g of gelatin and 100 ml of boiled cold water. Prepare a gummy substance:

  • pour the gelatin into a bowl;
  • fill with water and set aside for 40-50 minutes;
  • heat the settled mixture. Do not bring to a boil! Make sure that all gelatin particles are well dissolved.

Melt the plasticine in another vessel. Cut it into small pieces in advance. Pour 50 ml of water into a saucepan, place on the stove and bring to a boil. Dip the crushed plasticine into boiling water, and stir until a homogeneous mass is obtained. No need to boil over a fire! Add the cooled gelatin to the plasticine and mix the mixture thoroughly with a spoon. The toy can be played as soon as the slime cools down. But this method is rarely used, because the slime is enough for several days.


Making slime from flour and water without sodium tetraborate

There is no chemistry in the toy. The recipe is the simplest, as are the ingredients. Pour a glass of sifted flour into a metal bowl. Pour in cold water first, and then very hot. Add natural color such as carrot juice or beetroot juice. Take so much water that the mixture comes out thick in moderation, homogeneous and viscous. Stir constantly while adding water. Stir until smooth. We put it in a small bag or in a glass container with a tight lid.

Place the slime in the refrigerator for three hours. Store the toy in the same place. On the street, play with a slime must be careful, the mass may dry out.


Safety rules for making slime without sodium tetraborate

After playing with Sticky Miracle, wash your and your baby's hands. Although the toy is not toxic, make sure that the child does not pull it into the mouth. When making a slime, use the following recommendations:

  • use rubber gloves to make a sticky lump;
  • use an apron or wear old clothes if working with dye or gouache. They leave stains on clothes and hands;
  • use separate dishes for preparing any mixture, in which you will not cook food;
  • add glitters, small decorative details as desired. Experiment with the composition of the toy.


The shelf life of a toy, safe for a child, made by yourself without adding sodium tetraborate, is from two days to a week. Ingredients for making are always found in the house. And the process of creating a sticky miracle together with parents will give the baby a lot of pleasant impressions.
