How to store and apply
By creating a unique toy, everyone hopes for a long, interesting time together. To do this, it is necessary to create storage conditions suitable for the slime. Ideally, each slime should have a separate container with a tight-fitting lid. Do not store the toy in the freezer or in the immediate vicinity of heating appliances. Therefore, it is better to place the container with slime in the refrigerator.
It is recommended to store a toy made from natural ingredients no more than a few days, the rest can last for several weeks, or even months. Correct, regular care will increase the life of the slime. The texture of elastic specimens reacts sharply to dry air, which requires intervention: it is necessary to nourish the toy with a small amount of water at the slightest hint of drying out. You can add water directly to the container where the slime is stored. High humidity will also negatively affect the service life - the slime will swell and lose texture. You can fight excess moisture with table salt.
There are many options for playing with a slime:
- pour over uneven surfaces, from container to container;
- divide into parts;
- throw into water;
- insert a tube to inflate the bubble inside;
- outdoor games with a slime-jumper.
This type of game is useful for kids - tactile skills develop. However, it should be understood that prolonged play with slime can lead to irritation of the skin of the hands, so if you have scratches or abrasions, you should refrain from playing. It is necessary to play with the slime only with clean, dry hands to avoid contamination of the toy (this will lead to a violation of the consistency). It is worth refraining from throwing slime with a liquid consistency on the walls, floor, ceiling.
How to make edible slime
Slime without harmful ingredients in the composition is not only an interesting, but also a tasty toy. Of course, if you make it according to the right recipe.
Slime made of flour and water
It is an environmentally friendly and safe slime made from warm and cold water, flour, and dye. Mix all the ingredients well to the consistency of an elastic dough and send them to the lower shelf of the refrigerator.
The edible slime will be ready in a few hours.
Condensed milk slime
Combine a can of condensed milk and a spoonful of cornstarch in a small saucepan. Put on moderate heat and heat, stirring constantly. As soon as the mixture thickens, remove the container from the stove and wait until it cools completely. If you want a brightly colored slime, add food coloring.
Marshmallow Slime
Divide the marshmallows into small pieces, put in a special bowl, pour 1 tbsp. l. water and place in the microwave for 20 seconds. Separately make a powder of starch and powdered sugar (1: 3), mix it with marshmallows until smooth.
Gummy Slime
Melt the jelly candies in a water bath, cool slightly, sprinkle with powdered sugar and knead the substance well so that the finished slime is viscous and viscous. Dyes are not needed here.
Slime from Nutella
Take Nuttella chocolate spread and marshmallows in the form of regular candies. The proportions are as follows: 1-2 tablespoons of Nutella for every 3 white candies. Melt the marshmallows in the microwave, add the chocolate paste and remember a little with your hands. The edible slime is ready!
You can experiment with color and taste by adding natural dyes and small multi-colored dragees.
Features of shaving gel in slime
For the experienced slimer, sources of ideal anti-stress ingredients are not only stationery stores, but home kitchens as well as the bathroom shelf. Among the cosmetics, there are enough products that serve as a base for slimes.These include shaving gel.
It is a jelly-like substance that is applied to the skin for easy razor glide. Its cost depends on the amount of caring ingredients, the presence of healing medicinal compounds. All of these components are not needed to make a slime. Therefore, for children's creativity, you can buy inexpensive domestic products.
The homogeneous structure suggests that the shaving gel slime will turn out to be soft and well-stretching. But for young chemists, guesswork is not enough. Every slimer knows that polymer elements form the basis of anti-stress. If you read into the composition of the cosmetic gel for men, it will become clear that the basis of the substance is a polymer frame. Thus, the product is suitable for making slimes.
However, the solution to the question of how to make a slime from shaving gel can be complicated by the selection of a thickener and auxiliary ingredients, since there are other additives in the composition of the cosmetic product. If you are limited in the amount of base for a slime, it is better to give preference to proven recipes for slime with shaving gel.
The undeniable advantage of the gel as a base for slime is also its pleasant smell and the presence in the composition of herbal extracts. Such anti-stress is not only pleasant, but also useful to wrinkle in your hands. Plant extracts and silicone in the gel have a soothing and wound healing effect.
To create the perfect shaving gel slime, you need to know some of the specifics of the working material. Manufacturers produce two types of shaving cosmetics: gels that are completely ready to use, and gels that must be diluted with water before shaving and then whipped into a lather. From the first and second types of gel, interesting antistress will be obtained, however, they may differ in their color saturation and density.
So, slimes with shaving gel of the first type have an airy texture, stretch well and have a uniform color with a transparent undertone. When using the second type of gels, the structure of the slime will turn out to be denser, and the color is unclear, at the same time, less thickener is required.
Shaving gel slime recipes, if there is no clarification from the slimer, are being developed for ready-to-use shaving gels, that is, the first type. But the recipe is easily adaptable for gels that require whipping: the same amount of base ingredients is taken, but the thickener is added in portions, starting at half the dose indicated in the recipe. The amount of thickener is increased as needed.
The downside to using shaving gel in slimes is the cost of the ingredients. Cosmetic products tend to be more expensive than back office slime bases. There are options for how to make shaving gel at home, but such cosmetics, although they will perfectly fulfill the main task - to help men with daily care, will not work for creating slimes. Homemade shaving gels are made from olive and essential oils and are not suitable for forming an elastic mass.
It should also be remembered that shaving gel slimes, even if all storage recommendations are followed (in a closed container, in a cool dark place), are short-lived and cannot be reanimated. As soon as the texture of the mass begins to dry out, it is best to get rid of the toy and make a new one. Fortunately, there are many proven recipes for making shaving gel slime.
Note! Shaving gel has a thick viscous texture, keeps the shape of a drop, does not spread over the skin. But it does not have the properties of a handgam: it stretches in the hands, bounces off the floor, and flows off hard surfaces.
Therefore, for the manufacture of slime, be sure to use thickeners.
From flour and shower gel
In this recipe, it is important not to overdo it with the amount of flour, because the product from different manufacturers does not mix with liquid ingredients in the same way. It should be used in portions, stirring well with the base
Before kneading the slime, flour can be applied to the palm of your hand so that it does not stick to the skin.
Cooking method
- First, pour the gel into the mixing bowl.
- Toothpaste is added to it.
- The components must be mixed so that the consistency and color are uniform.
- Then part of the flour is poured into the total mass.
- It is necessary to mix the composition again with a spatula.
- In the next step, you can paint the base.
- After stirring the pigment, more flour is added.
- Then you need to work again in the mass with a spatula.
- Then the base is crumpled by hand, adding more crumbly ingredient if necessary.
Precautionary measures
Slime is safe for a child, but safety precautions should be followed during its manufacture. Explain simple rules to the children to avoid burns and other troubles during the experiment.
- Provide fresh air. Make slime only in a ventilated area. Particles of some compounds, including low-toxic PVA glue, at high concentrations in the air can lead to poor health and even poisoning.
- Use gloves. Children will be able to play with a ready-made slime without fear, but until this moment it is better to protect their hands - when mixing ingredients, it is easy to make a mistake in proportions and get burned.
- Examine the components. Make sure your child is not allergic to the ingredients in the recipe. Do not substitute toxic counterparts for ingredients. For example, you cannot use silicone or construction glue instead of PVA.
- Respect the proportions. Some of the constituents (for example, sodium tetraborate), if the dosage is exceeded, can negatively affect well-being.
- Control the process. All stages of handgam creation must be carried out under the supervision of adults. Children are prone to creative improvisation, but when conducting chemical experiments, creativity can be dangerous.
Subject to safety precautions, making slime will not harm your health.
Which face mask is right for you?
Slimes from the film mask are fragrant and viscous, which distinguishes them favorably from toys made of glue and tetraborate. Cosmetic mask is the main polymer adhesive used to make slimes.
Any mask-film is suitable for slime, it can be found in different forms of release.
The remedy is found:
- in a tube;
- sachet;
- jar.
Please note: it is not at all necessary to buy an expensive film mask. Its cost will not affect the quality of the toy in any way.
Masks come in a wide variety of colors, from black to gold or blue. If you choose this option, you will not have to paint the toy additionally.
What can replace it?
If there is no film mask, it can be replaced with other ingredients that are definitely in every home:
foam and shampoo - soda will be the activator, but it is not always possible to make a toy;
toothpaste and sugar - in this case, it is unlikely that you will be able to play, since it is not a slime that is obtained, but rather sugar mucus;
salt and shampoo - the most important thing is not to overdo it with salt;
chocolate paste and marshmallows - edible slime.

Tips & Tricks
Slime may not work the first time. As a rule, there are several reasons for this:
- the sequence of actions is broken;
- proportions are not respected - it is better to use measuring cups, accurate scales;
- poor quality of ingredients - you should not make a toy from expired components that were supposed to be discarded;
- if the slime sticks too much to your hands, you need to add water and starch, and vice versa, if there is viscousness in the absence of stickiness, you should add a little glue.
Everyone can make a unique toy, for this you need to develop your own design: add dye, some elements (balls, beads), draw a "face". You can try to create an "edible" slime, consisting only of natural ingredients, without glue and other chemicals. This will allow you to feel calm about the licking of your child's favorite toy.
Important: children under 3 years old should not be left unattended while playing with the slime. The creation of the toy must also be fully supervised by adults.

How to make a slime
You can prepare a slime yourself at home from scrap materials. The ingredients are simple and accessible to everyone. The choice of recipe depends on the end goal - what consistency is the desired result. The shaving gel slime has a light texture, ease of preparation.
What is needed
To make a slime at home from shaving gel you will need:
PVA glue - 100 ml - be sure to pay attention to the expiration date, the choice should be stopped on more viscous options;
shaving gel / foam (350 ml) - foam will make the toy more airy;
tetraborate.
Starch can be a substitute for tetraborate. In addition to the above, you will need a container that will not be used for cooking or eating food, a stirring stick, dyes (optional), flavors (for example, essential oils that can drown out the "chemical" smell).
How to do
Before starting production, you need to wash and dry your hands. For cooking:
- Pour the glue into a container.
- Add shaving gel. Mix.
- To thicken, pour in tetraborate.
- Mix well.
- Knead with your hands until you achieve the desired consistency. The ductility as well as the density of the toy can be modified at this stage.
An alternative to the container can be a plastic bag with a dense texture, preferably a resealable one. To do this, all the ingredients are merged there and kneaded. The toy will be ready when it stops sticking to your hands. The finished product can be placed in the refrigerator for several hours, this will allow the slime to take shape and harden in the texture.
From shampoo and shower gel
The first two ingredients on the list should be transparent, or have a similar color. Then you do not have to use a pigment, and the slime will turn out to be a uniform, beautiful shade. The only difficulty in the recipe is the long kneading of the slime. Do not add more Naphthyzine to avoid this. The excess of the activator makes the toy tight and tearing when stretched.
How to make
- The shampoo needs to be transferred to the cup.
- It is immediately supplemented with gel.
- The next component is glue.
- Then you need to mix everything so that the liquid becomes homogeneous.
- Baking soda is used as one of the thickeners.
- It should also be mixed into the composition.
- The last thing that is added to it is Naphtizin drops.
- The base is stirred with a spoon until thickened and a white tint appears.
- The mass lagging behind the cup should be kneaded with your hands until it is freed from excess liquid.
How to enlarge a slime 20 times
As implausible as it may seem, there is a way to increase the slime by 20 times:
- pour warm water into a cup and put slime in it;
- the toy must be kneaded in a liquid until the entire mass becomes homogeneous;
- add glue to it and mix;
- further, in turn, you need to supplement the composition with shaving foam, starch, hand cream, liquid soap, each time working at the base with a spatula;
- at the end, it is necessary to pour in the activator (at choice concentrated washing gel, sodium tetraborate, liquid for lenses with soda, etc.);
- it remains to knead the mass until stabilization with a spatula, and then knead it in your hands so that the slime does not stick to them.
There should be a moderate amount of additional components from clause 4 so that the base succumbs to the influence of the activator. All of them together should be taken less than glue. That is, the same rules apply here as when making a new slime.
