How to make real slime without sodium. Making slime at home

Hello young readers. IN Lately The question of how to make slime without leaving home is becoming increasingly popular. That is why it was decided to create this article. You will learn how to create this toy different ways, using various materials, read the safety rules and operating recommendations.

Precautionary measures

Since to prepare such a toy you need different materials, some of which can be toxic, it is very important to follow safety guidelines.

Before cooking, you must wear a protective apron, gloves, other items of clothing, and sometimes a respiratory mask. This must be done to exclude a possible allergic reaction to the components of the toy. In addition, these clothes will protect you from contamination when using, for example, dyes.
It is not allowed to smell, much less taste, the components necessary to create the slime. You can get both an allergy and serious poisoning, as well as a burn from a chemical substance.
Use only dishes that will not be used for food later. It is better to use a disposable set of utensils.
Remember to constantly wash your hands after handling slime.

Cooking with and without water

First, let's look at the option of making slime from water:

you will need to purchase borax (powder);
mix it with 200 ml of water, you can use distilled, boiled or running water;
in a separate container, mix water and glue in equal proportions; as a rule, a quarter cup of each ingredient is enough;
if you want your slime to be unusual coloring, then add dye;
add a borax solution to the well-mixed glue and water (the last one is half a glass).
if it turns out too liquid, then add a tetraborate solution.

Now let's look at the option without water:

pour glue into the container, add tetraborate in the form of a solution: it is necessary to pour in the volume necessary to form a thick mass;
now is the time to add dye, the amount is determined taking into account the intensity of the expected color;
If you feel that the slime is not soft enough to the touch, you can rinse it with water.

Magnetic slime

You will need the following materials:

Neodymium magnet;
capacity;
sodium tetraborate;
water;
iron oxide;
PVA glue;
any coloring (preferably food coloring).

Tetraborate (half a teaspoon) is added to water (200 ml).
In a prepared bowl, mix glue (about 30 grams) and half a glass of water.
Add dye.
Now you need to pour in the tetraborate solution and bring it to the required consistency with constant stirring. If you see that it is already in a suitable state, stop pouring in the tetraborate.
In order for the magnet to attract, sprinkle the toy with iron oxide, preferably over the entire surface, evenly.

If you are interested in the question of how to make slime without glue, then you can use a recipe for a plasticine toy, which you probably have at home. You will need:

one pack of gelatin (edible);
plasticine (packaging);
capacity;
wooden spatula or spoon;
iron container.

The first step is to prepare the gelatin. To do this, pour it into an iron container, pour cold water, stir well and leave to infuse for an hour. Next, the soaked gelatin needs to be heated, bringing to a boil.
Now you need to knead the plasticine well (take soft) in a mixing container. In addition to 100 grams of plasticine itself, you will need 50 ml of water.
Pour gelatin into the prepared homogeneous mass, stir everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
The prepared mixture is sent to the refrigerator until completely solidified.
Now the toy can be used for its intended purpose.

Cooking with soda

To prepare you will need:

mixing stick;
a tablespoon of soda (baking soda);
PVA glue (50 grams);
half a glass of water (warm enough);
plastic container;
food coloring(just a little);
gloves.

Shaving foam to help you

You will need:

shaving foam;
glue;
emerald paint;
hand soap;
boric acid;
water;
wooden stick;
capacity;
jar.

Pour 125 mg of glue into a bowl, it is important that it is good quality quite thick.
Now you need to add paint (a few drops).
Now it’s time to add shaving foam to the resulting solution in such an amount that after mixing the ingredients you get something resembling a sweet cream.
Add to a jar of water boric acid(15 grams), add a little liquid soap.
Stir the resulting mixture with a stick.
Pour from the jar into our container with foam.
Stir to obtain a homogeneous mass.
Now your slime is ready.

Without tetraborate

If you are interested in the question of how to make slime without sodium tetraborate, then for this you will need:

water (cold and hot);
flour;
food colorings.

Take a container, add flour (two cups), previously sifted.
Add to it cold water(a quarter of a glass) and a little hot, just not boiling water.
Now everything must be thoroughly mixed until a homogeneous mass is obtained. It is important that there are no lumps.
IN ready mixture add a little bit of dye.
Mix to completely color our future slime.
Put the finished mixture in the refrigerator, after three hours, take it out and knead it.
The slime is ready.

Shampoo and water

If you are interested in an option without PVA, and also using ingredients that you have on hand, then this recipe is what you need.

shampoo (approximately one hundred milliliters);
capacity;
one hundred milliliters of water;
two hundred grams of starch;
mixing stick;
dye.

Toothpaste and soap

You will need:

approximately 20 ml of liquid soap;
the same amount of toothpaste;
five teaspoons of flour;
capacity;
stir stick.

Squeeze the required amount of toothpaste into a metal bowl.
Add liquid soap and stir everything until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
Gradually add flour into the resulting mixture, stirring all the time.
On final stages knead the dough with your hands.
To finish, lightly moisten the slime and knead it with your hands.
The toy is ready.

Hydrogen peroxide and starch

This method is quite accessible in financially. However, the resulting result is more like a jumper due to its jumping ability.

You will need:

capacity;
glass of water;
100 g starch;
PVA glue - 100 grams;
hydrogen peroxide;
food coloring;
mixing stick.

Mix water with starch in a small container until a jelly-like consistency is formed.
Add glue and mix everything thoroughly.
Pour a few drops of peroxide and food coloring in the same amount into the resulting mixture.
Mix everything thoroughly.
If you get a thick mass, you can add a little water.

We prepare from different types of glue

If you have a question about how to make slime from glue, then I bring to your attention several of the most current recipes.

PVA glue with sodium tetraborate

You will need:

sodium tetraborate;
wooden mixing stick;
plastic bag;
capacity;
dye (you can use food grade or gouache);
glue.

Pour two hundred grams of glue into the prepared container.
Add dye - just a few drops, you can also use beads or sparkles.
Stir everything with a wooden stick.
Continuing to stir, carefully add sodium tetraborate - about one hundred milliliters.
When you see that the product takes on a jelly-like shape or becomes elastic, place it in a bag and remember for several minutes.
Now your slime is ready.

You will need:

plastic bag;
capacity;
Titan glue;
stirring stick;
dye;
shampoo.

Add a little glue to a plastic glass container, and also pour shampoo into the container (in the same amount).
Add a little dye.
Stir everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
The fact that the slime is ready is indicated by the lack of stickiness of the toy.

Silicate glue and alcohol

To prepare you will need:

wooden stirring stick;
plastic bag;
capacity;
dye;
silicate glue;
alcohol (can be perfume or an alcohol tincture of some acid).

Squeeze 100 grams of glue into a container.
Add a little dye.
Pour in fifty ml of alcohol.
Stir everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
Now all that remains is to rinse the toy in water at the optimal temperature.

When choosing the right consistency, you need to focus on your feelings. Properly prepared slime is a single clot, a homogeneous mass, quite viscous, but sticky.
If the slime turns out to be too dry, then add liquid components; if it is too liquid, add dry ones.
To make your slime look brighter, you can add not only dyes, but also phosphor paint or pearlescent dye, glitter.
You need to store the slime in a carefully closed container in the refrigerator.

Now you know how you can make slime yourself without leaving home. Don’t forget about protective equipment and that toys should not be tasted. It is advisable to prepare slime in the presence of adults. Choose the option that suits you best and start making.

Do you know who ghost hunters are? If not, we highly recommend watching the cartoon of the same name, which was incredibly popular in the mid-90s. What was especially memorable about this cartoon was the funny logo, the catchy intro melody and two otherworldly characters – the ghosts Boogeyman and Lizun. We won’t touch the boogeyman today, but let’s try to figure out how to make slime at home.

The legendary animated series “Ghostbusters” was released in the mid-90s and immediately gained wild popularity. At the same time, a stream of simple toys poured onto Russian shelves, named after one of the heroes - the scary, but kind and terribly charming ghost Lizun. This green miracle ate everything and everywhere left a liquid, slippery trail, into which everyone around them endlessly fell into.

The slime toy is very similar to its cartoon prototype; in fact, it is a slime, a viscous lump with the properties of a Newtonian fluid, elastic, sticky and stretchy. Mattel began producing this toy back in 1976, but it gained mass popularity precisely after the release of “Hunters.”

The slimes of that time were made from guar gum with the addition of borax powder (in chemical language - sodium tetraborate), mainly had green color and were absolutely safe for children. Unfortunately, we can't say the same about timely toys. The quality of their components raises big questions. Therefore, we suggest you figure out how you can make slime yourself at home.

Basic manufacturing methods

There are a lot of basic and not so simple ways to make slime yourself, at home. The choice of recipe depends on your imagination, the availability of free time and the means at hand.

Plasticine toy

To make handgam from plasticine we will need the following materials:

plasticine - about 100 g, any color;
– 1 pack;
cold and hot water;
plastic and metal cups.

The cooking method is quite simple.

Dissolve the gelatin in cold water; use a metal bowl for this.
After an hour, place the dishes on the stove to heat until high temperature, but there is no need to bring it to a boil.
Meanwhile in a plastic cup pour hot water, put a piece of plasticine there and mix it thoroughly in the water.
Slowly pour gelatin into the resulting mixture, mix until smooth and put in the refrigerator.
We put it in the refrigerator, wait a couple of hours - and you can play!

This toy is safe and environmentally friendly, but it gets your hands dirty and doesn’t last long.

Starch slime

You can make a toy at home without plasticine. In this recipe we will need corn starch - it will make the toy nicer and more elastic. But if you don’t have corn, you can also use potato. The recipe is quite simple.

The following ingredients are needed:

starch;
water;
food coloring. You can show your imagination - sparkles and even small rhinestones will make the toy simply cosmic.

Combine starch and water in equal proportions, place in the refrigerator, and in a couple of hours your slime is ready! When preparing, you can add a drop of perfume or essential oil - the toy will smell delicious. And if you add a little phosphor paint, the toy can glow in the dark.

The advantages of this method are simplicity, environmental friendliness and the opportunity to show imagination. Disadvantages - again, a very short shelf life, only about a week.

Handgam made from shampoo and glue

This method is more complicated, but the slime turns out to be more similar to its store-bought relative.

We will need:

shampoo without adding - 3 tablespoons (50 ml);
polymer glue – 3 tablespoons (50 ml);
food coloring, sparkles, sequins, rhinestones - optional;
plastic container.

The cooking method is as follows.

Pour shampoo into a container, add dye and glitter, mix thoroughly.
Slowly pour in the glue, stirring constantly until the consistency is uniform.
Store the received toy in a dark, dry, cool place.

Instead of polymer glue, you can use PVA, but such a toy has worse stretch and sticks strongly to your hands.

Slime made from PVA, water and sodium tetraborate

If the previous toys can be made at home with the child, then in this method it is better to refuse the child’s presence.

Components:

sodium tetraborate (borax solution) – 1/3 teaspoon. Try to purchase a solution of borax in glycerin;
PVA glue, preferably in a bottle, 1 pc. Can be replaced with transparent stationery;
cold water – 200 ml;
food coloring, glitter, etc.

Manufacturing takes place according to a standard scheme.

Mix glue and water in plastic dishes, mix thoroughly.
Add dyes.
Slowly and carefully add sodium tetraborate. The more borax, the “thicker” the slime.

When making slime in this way, be sure to use protective equipment: gloves, an apron, unnecessary clothes. The finished toy should be stored in a closed container, away from air and light. Sodium tetraborate has a big advantage - it is an antiseptic by nature.

Soda slime

Another way to make a toy yourself from simple available materials.

In this recipe we will need:

soda – 1 tablespoon;
PVA glue – 100 or 200 ml;
a glass of cold water;
food coloring, rhinestones, glitter, etc.;
plastic dishes.

The stages of “production” are as follows.

Dissolve soda in water (1 tablespoon per 1/2 cup).
Mix the glue with the dye until the color is uniform.
Pour soda into the resulting mass.
Mix thoroughly.

We store the toy in the same way as in the previous method - in a dark, dry place.

Toy made from liquid washing powder

This recipe requires liquid washing powder– dry substance or dishwashing detergent will not work.

Ingredients:

liquid washing powder - 2 tbsp. spoons;
PVA glue – 1/3 tube;
dye;
plastic dishes.

Mix PVA glue with dye to obtain a homogeneous color mass. Slowly pour in the liquid detergent drop by drop until the desired consistency is achieved. Knead for 5-10 minutes (wear gloves!). Store in a sealed container.

Slime made from sodium tetraborate and alcohol

This recipe also uses sodium tetraborate, but without PVA glue.

We will need:

sodium tetraborate (dry borax) – 2 tbsp. spoons (sold at the pharmacy);
a glass of cold water;
polyvinyl alcohol in powder form (ask at the Antimelitel hardware or hardware store);
metal (not plastic!) dishes;
dye.

The manufacturing stages are as follows.

Dissolve alcohol in a glass of water.
Place the bowl with this solution on the stove and heat slowly, stirring. Heating time is approximately 40 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the solution cool to room temperature.
Add borax and stir.
Add dye.

Handgam according to this recipe will be elastic, not unpleasantly sticky and very similar to store-bought.

If you make a toy using any of the above methods and add pieces of metal to it, you will get an amazing magnetic slime.

To avoid crushing an iron part with a file, try to find iron oxide in the store or order a special developer powder from office equipment supply stores.

By mixing the powder with metal particles, we get an unusual magnetic slime that changes shape under the influence of a magnet. And if you add phosphor paint to the toy, the slime will glow in the dark.

Other recipes

The technology for making toys in all recipes is approximately the same.

We looked at the most popular and accessible examples of how to make slime at home.

In addition to the above, there are ways to make toys from soda without using glue - from flour and “Fairy”.

How to make slime from "Fairy"?

"Fairy" or other dishwashing detergent;
soda;
moisturizing hand cream;
dyes.

Mix half a tablespoon of detergent with a teaspoon of soda, mix thoroughly until smooth, add hand cream and dye. Place the resulting mass to cool for 3-4 hours.

If the slime making process doesn't work out, don't be discouraged. Experiment with the ingredients. To increase viscosity, add more binder; to thin, add water.
Use gloves.
If your child is still small, do not leave him with the toy unattended - children put everything in their mouth, and slime is very attractive in this regard.
Try to persuade your child not to throw a toy at walls covered with wallpaper if you are not going to do any repairs in the near future.
If the toy has dried out, it doesn’t matter; it can be briefly revived by moistening it with water.

How to store slime?

A toy made with your own hands at home, unfortunately, is short-lived. Proper storage will extend the life of your favorite entertainment.

Store the slime in a closed container, preferably without access to air. It will be ideal if the place is also dark and cool. The best place for storage - refrigerator (but not freezer).

Conclusion

Nowadays, bright, cheap and not very, often unsafe toys overflow stores. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to make a Barbie doll or a car yourself, and not every adult can sew a teddy bear.

But it’s quite possible to create a simple but fun toy yourself from scrap materials. Therefore, the question of how to make slime yourself is quite relevant.

Show your imagination, experiment, put aside your children's electronic gadget and involve your child in the process - you are guaranteed a lot of positive emotions!

Mother of two children. I'm leading household for more than 7 years - this is my main job. I like to experiment, I try all the time various means, ways, techniques that can make our lives easier, more modern, richer. I love my family.

Slime is a sticky toy that can take any shape. Loved by millions of children in the 90s, it is still popular today, although the “lime star” has long since faded. You can make slime at home, but many of the recipes presented on the Runet present the creation of a toy using glue and chemicals, which of course can harm the child and especially small children, who drag anything into their mouth. For example, a recipe for making slime with sodium tetraborate can be harmful if the substance is inhaled or if it gets into the stomach.

Slime without borax (sodium tetraborate)

Read the instructions: how to make slime without sodium tetraborate:

Need to buy:

Starch (for example corn);

Dish detergent (the more liquid, the more slime)
Gouache

Take a glass and mix the ingredients well.

Baking soda will create the density of the toy

An analogue of glue will be detergent for dishes.

You can also make a toy by adding a little shampoo and leaving the slime in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours.

Slime "children's"

If you are worried that gel, glue or dishwashing detergent can also harm you or your child, then there is absolutely safe recipe, which eliminates all chemistry.

Components:

Hot and cold water;
Dye.

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 spots.

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 makes modern slimes from is not known for certain, but what happens when using sodium tetraborate when homemade the substance turns out to be very similar to a store-bought toy - a fact. 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.

Pour the glue into a suitable container.
Attach foam to it. the amount depends on how fluffy the mass should be. Stir.
Add a dye, you can use aniline or any other. Mix thoroughly again.
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 the manufacture of 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.

Dissolve baking soda in a small amount of water.
Pour the glue into a bowl, add dye and mix.
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.
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.

Pour glue into a bowl and add color with any dye.
Stirring in a circular motion, add alcohol little by little. You will see how the mass thickens, forming dense lumps.
Leave the substance to rest for 20 minutes.
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.
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. You won't need it for this high costs, the toy will cost pennies.

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

Video instructions for making slimes from glue

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.

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.
Leave the mixture to thicken for a while, usually 5 minutes.
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.

To do this you will need 4 glue sticks. Remove the rods and place in a fireproof container.
Using a microwave or oven, melt the rods until a viscous mass forms.
Add to adhesive mass dye, mix.
In a separate bowl, dissolve borax in a small amount of water.
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.

Soak the gelatin in 200ml cold water using a fireproof container.
When the gelatin swells, bring it to a boil over low heat and immediately remove from heat. Let cool slightly.
Knead the plasticine until it becomes soft. Mix with remaining water.
Combine still warm gelatin with plasticine, mix well until smooth.
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

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

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

From soap and shampoo

For the following type You only need two ingredients that can be found in any home. This is liquid soap and shampoo for hair.

Mix liquid soap and shampoo in equal proportions until smooth.
Place in the refrigerator overnight.
Take it out and have fun.

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. At careful attitude 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.

Squeeze the cream into a bowl.
Add paint and mix.
Add perfume little by little and mix everything thoroughly. The mixture will begin to thicken.
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 no chemicals.

For this you will need:

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

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

Not all products and substances are suitable for making slime. Not everything that looks like slime has the necessary properties. To avoid making mistakes, watch the video.

Video experiments on making slimes from different ingredients

How to give slime the desired properties

Even if the slime didn’t turn out the way you wanted, you can fix it.

Vinegar will make the toy more elastic. Pour in a few drops and the slime will stick better.
By adding hydrogen peroxide, you will get a fluffy mass, this is how fluffy slime is made.
A few drops of glycerin will help make the toy slippery.
Glowing slime can be obtained using fluorescent paint.
If the slime is too soft, place it in a jar, add a few salt crystals, close the lid tightly and leave overnight. The salt will draw out excess water and restore elasticity to the toy.
If the slime is too hard, it will become softer if you place it in a container overnight and add a few drops of water.
To make the toy smell nice, scent it essential oil, food flavoring or vanillin.
Magnetic slime can be made by adding small metal filings or iron oxide to it. Knead the toy well so that the additive is evenly distributed. And then your slime, as if alive, will be drawn to any magnet.
You can create an anti-stress toy by placing slime in balloon. This can be done using a large syringe without a needle.
To increase the size of the slime, place it in a container of water for 3 hours. Don't be alarmed if it falls apart, that's how it should be. Add a little salt and hand or body cream. Stir. The slime will not only restore elasticity, but will also become larger.

Advice! Add colorful foam balls to the soft slime. This will make it colorful and increase its volume.

Storage and care rules

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

The slime is stored in a plastic container with a tightly closed lid.
To prevent the slime from drying out, keep it away from heat sources and do not leave it in the sun.
Dried slime can be revived with a drop of water, and soaked slime with salt.
You need to play with slime. Long term storage may lead to mold growth. This toy will have to be thrown away.
Frequent use will lead to rapid contamination of the toy and loss of properties.
Avoid contact with fleecy surfaces, the slime will collect hairs and become unusable.

Slime is not just a children's toy; some types also have practical use. For example, you can use it to clean a computer keyboard or clothing from sticky debris. Elastic develop fine motor skills, increase finger strength. And they just calm you down, relieve stress and give good mood. Make slimes and play, it's so much fun!

Slime without sodium tetraborate has advantages. Children usually like it, it's durable, and it's easier to make yourself at home.

How to make slime without glue and sodium tetraborate

The first slime recipe with the addition of sodium tetraborate deserves your attention. The products are simple and, as a rule, always available in the house.

You will need

one tsp. baking soda;
one tbsp. l. gel intended for washing kitchen utensils (if you don’t have it in your house, buy liquid soap or shower mousse);
hand cream.
