Magnetic Slime

Rules for use and storage at home

This slime must be stored in a separate plastic bowl that is suitable for its size. And after each game, everything should be placed in the refrigerator until next use.

The resulting toffee should not be smudged, because this can lead to a loss of magnetic properties. If the slime accidentally falls on the floor, carpet or bedspread, you need to remove all the debris from it with tweezers.

Over time, the slime can change its density. If it has become liquid, then you can add a pinch of salt, and then knead it well with your hands.

If the slime has hardened, then add warm water to the storage container, and then shake everything vigorously.

Interesting games with magnets

Amazing Magnetic opens up a whole world of interesting game combinations with his participation.

Some are worth paying special attention to:

1. Place the slime in a container and let it spread over the entire surface. Then take an iron ball, touch it to any place on the slime and slowly lift it up. Slime will begin to reach for the iron, it seems that horns are growing.
2. On the side of the lump, close to the slime, put the same iron ball. The gum will gradually begin to suck it into itself.

In order to play with your children, you can come up with your own options, without limiting yourself in the flight of imagination. And most likely, the guys themselves will tell you what and how to do with such charming fun, because their gaming moments are not just a pleasant or interesting pastime, but this is a real immersion in their own inner world, where they learn to navigate and stay for the benefit of themselves ...

Precautions and storage

It is important to store the magnetic slime correctly. You cannot do this outdoors.

It is best to define a plastic container for it, and store the mass in the refrigerator. This will allow him to serve as long as possible.

All types of slimes pick up dust and dirt very quickly. in the case of a magnetic type of product, this may affect its magnetization property. therefore it should be kept away from contamination. If it falls on a pile surface, then the debris is removed with tweezers.

You should also be prepared for the fact that the magnetic slime can change its consistency to a more liquid or solid form. In the first case, a pinch of salt is added and the composition is thoroughly mixed, and in the second, warm water is added to the container in a small volume and shaken until the properties of the composition improve.

With hair foam

• hair styling foam
• two types of glue (PVA and stationery)
• sodium tetraborate
• hair styling gel
• hair fixing spray

Mix both types of glue in a container. There should be twice as much transparent as PVA. Add hair gel and foam (as much as PVA glue). Tint the resulting mixture in the desired color and mix. Pshik with hairspray several times, placing the balloon as close to the future slime as possible. Mix everything again and add sodium tetraborate. It may take a long time to interfere. It is worth being patient and not clogging the mass with an activator, so you can ruin the toy. Sooner or later, the slime will thicken and be very pleasant to the touch.

Slime without glue from the face film mask

We make a slime from a film mask, without adding glue

• We take a film mask, it can be of any color, but a black mask - film - took part in the experiment.
• We squeeze it completely into a glass plate.

Add shaving foam so that the slime without PVA glue is fluffy.

• Add some water and mix well. When mixed, the color was no longer black at all, but a dirty gray and not very beautiful. Therefore, we add a little black paint, for example, gouache and mix everything well again.
• We will use boric acid as a thickener. Boric acid for the manufacture of slimes works only in conjunction with a soda solution. To do this, dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of hot water and you will get the soda solution you need for slimes. Now add a little boric acid first, and then a couple of teaspoons of the soda solution. Mix everything well. The slime should begin to form and detach from the sides of the plate. If this does not happen, add a little more boric acid and soda solution.
• Knead the slime in your hands without glue for a couple of minutes and it will be ready.
• To decorate it, you can add some pretty glitter and knead it. It turned out to be just a super Galaxy slime! Soft and fluffy. Write in the comments what happened to you.

In our experiment, the slimes without glue and sodium tetraborate turned out to be just great. See more detailed instructions here:

Tips & Tricks

There are some useful tips and tricks for making and using a magnetic slime:

1. Since metal particles in the composition of the mass can darken the skin of the hands, it is necessary to wear protective gloves when starting work.
2. If the slime contains chemicals, you need to supervise the baby very carefully during the game so that he does not take the toy in his mouth and lick his fingers after using it.
3. When making slime, you cannot use cold water, since the components will not completely dissolve.
4. When using a liquid coloring agent, add it in separate droplets. Otherwise, you can go too far with the quantity, and the jelly-like mass will leave traces of paint on your hands and wherever it is.

Of sparklers

The glue in this recipe should be thick. You can take any cream, but not gel. And instead of oil for skin care, vegetable oil is also suitable. It is more convenient not to drip it into the slime, but to apply it on the palm of your hand. If too much metal powder is accidentally used, the mass will spread out, and then more activator can be added at the end of mixing.

Easy recipe

• 3 tbsp. l. PVA glue,
• 2-3 drops of sodium tetraborate,
• 1 drop of fatty cream
• 5-6 sparklers,
• 2-3 drops of body oil.

How to make a magnetic slime

1. The glue is sent into a wide container.
2. And they immediately add an activator to it.
3. Now the components must be mixed with a spoon until the glue thickens.
4. The resulting workpiece is kneaded with your fingers so that it does not leave marks on the surfaces.
5. Add cream to it and knead until smooth.
6. Sparklers are placed on a sheet of paper in turn and rolled over each rolling pin to remove the metal powder.
7. Slime is placed in this magnetic dust and mixed into a soft mass.
8. In the process, it is worth adding body oil so that the slime does not stick to your hands.

From laundry soap

When making the activator in this recipe, you need to make sure that the soap bars do not get into boric alcohol, the stabilizing liquid must be homogeneous. There is no need to add dye, its absence will not spoil the quality of the slime. The amount of metal shavings can be more than the specified one, this will increase the magnetic properties of the toy.

The constituents

• 70 ml of silicate glue,
• 3-4 tsp crushed 72% laundry soap,
• 100 ml hot water
• 1 bottle of boric acid (alcohol solution),
• 2-3 drops of pigment,
• 1 tsp metal shavings.

How to cook at home

1. In a jar, you need to mix hot water and soap shavings until the latter dissolves.
2. Boric acid from a 25 ml vial should be poured into another container.
3. A soap solution is added to it in the same volume, so an activator is obtained.
4. Glue is poured into the dishes with it.
5. The liquid should be tinted immediately.
6. Now the mass must be mixed with a spoon until a large clot forms in the slurry.
7. You need to remove it and knead it with your hands.
8. The resulting base is lightly rolled out on a table and metal shavings are poured onto it.
9. The slime needs to be kneaded again so that the magnetic component is well mixed in the mass.

Slimes with stationery glue

This slime, when finished, turns out to be soft, spreading, but not sticky. You need to take 100 ml of any brand of stationery glue, as well as 100 ml of cold water. Put the glue in a container, fill it with water. Then, with a spatula or spoon, make a lump of glue, as if knocking it into a single whole. Then take out the clot, continue crushing it with your hands (you can put it in a plastic bag).

Another recipe for making slime is as follows:

• take 100 ml of boiling water, dissolve a tablespoon of salt in it;
• tint the liquid in the desired shade;
• after cooling, pour in 2 tablespoons of glue;
• leave the product for 20 minutes without stirring;
• begin to stir the solution intensively, as a result of which a clot of glue will form at the bottom;
• catch the future slime, knead it with your hands;
• if the slime sticks, it must be thrown into the salt solution again, then taken out and kneaded again.

How to choose and prepare ingredients?

It is quite simple to create such a slime. The recipe does not require any special skills, and all the components are inexpensive. The first thing to do is to prepare the very foundation. This will require:

• 2 small containers made of glass or plastic;
• a stick or spoon in order to stir (preferably made of wood so that the metal does not react with the mixture);
• borax - transparent crystals that dissolve in water;
• thick PVA glue;
• metal powder.

All components are important, but the most essential is borax (sodium tetraborate). It is sold at the pharmacy. It would be best to buy borax in glycerin. Thanks to him, the slime will not stick to your hands.

You need metal powder to create a magnetic effect. And the problem is that they don't sell it in stores. There are several options for obtaining it here.

First, you can rub something metallic with a file. It takes a lot of effort and time, and is also quite dangerous. Metal dust can get into the eyes, and therefore it is imperative to work with protection for the face and hands.

Second, the metal powder can be replaced with iron oxide powder. You can't buy it in the store either, but you can find it in production. The easiest solution is to use a developer for refilling the printer, which can be bought at any computer store.

To make the magnetic slime even more unusual, you can buy and add phosphoric paint to it for a glow in the dark.

Shampoo Slime

One of the components that is often included in homemade slime formulations is shampoo. There are many recipes where it is combined with available ingredients - salt, sugar, starch. Shampoo slimes are very elastic and stretch perfectly.

4. Slime with polymer glue

To prepare a toy, this recipe will need

• ½ glass of shampoo,
• 4 tbsp. l. polymer glue,
• gouache or food coloring.

Homemade slime recipe:

1. Pour the shampoo into a glass or plastic container. Add dyes to the composition.
2. Add polymer glue, stir.
3. Pour the mixture into a plastic bag, knead well.
4. If the slime is very liquid, add sodium tetraborate.

5. Slime with sugar

An easy, safe way to make your own toffee with thick shampoo and sugar.

Home cooking technology:

1. Mix the ingredients until smooth. Pour sugar into the mixture until it thickens.
2. After obtaining the desired consistency, place the prepared mass in the freezer.
3. Take it out after 1.5 hours, the composition should turn out to be very viscous, but such a licker can melt quickly.

With baking soda and lens fluid

When kneading the base of the clear slime with your hands, do not rush. The slower this is done, the less air is collected in the mass, it remains transparent.You do not need to knead the slime, but leave it to dry in an open container. Then it will be even more translucent, and not only when stretched.

Method for preparing clear slime

1. Pour water into a large cup.
2. Further, liquid for the lenses is added to it, trying to pour on the walls of the dishes.
3. The next important ingredient is soda.
4. Stir the white powder well in water.
5. Glue is poured into it last, also along the wall of the dish with a multicomponent liquid.
6. The clot formed from the glue must be removed and placed in a clean container.
7. You can get rid of the stickiness by kneading it in your hands.

We recommend reading about how to make a glossy slime. From the article you will learn about the options for making glossy slime from PVA glue, water, sodium tetraborate and shaving foam.

And here is more about how to make a magnetic slime.

For clear slime, it is important to choose the right glue, it should not only be transparent, but also have a thick consistency. The toy can be tinted and decorated with sparkles

Because of this, it does not lose transparency, but looks even more interesting. But when playing with clear slime, it becomes denser, becomes cloudy, since air bubbles form in it due to kneading.

Fluffy Slime Recipe

Not all toffee resembles mucus, there are recipes for making cool ones that resemble a cloud of air. Fluffy slimes are very light, with a pleasant soft texture, similar to mousse or bizet. The main component is shaving foam. If it is not there, then liquid soap, shower gel, hair balm will do.

Air

To make your own toffee, cook

• PVA glue (100 g),
• shaving foam (200 ml),
• lens cleaner (with boric acid).

Air Fluffy Slime Recipe:

1. Pour stationery glue into the dishes, put the foam to get a very airy consistency.
2. Dab on lens cleaner to thicken the composition.
3. Knead it with your hands to achieve elasticity. If everything is done according to the recipe, then the slime will not be very sticky.

14. Slime with gel and liquid soap

When there is no shaving foam at home, it is easy to make a fluffy slime from liquid soap, shower gel, bubble bath. Recipe:

1. Take a little of any product, lather with a sponge, adding a little water. You should have about 500 ml of mass.

3. Mix gently.
4. Add boric acid lens compound.
5. Stir vigorously and knead.
6. The result is a soft fluffy slime.

How to choose and prepare ingredients

The quality and individual properties of the future magnetic slime depend on the correct choice and preparation of its main components. The role of the base for the toy is assigned to the metal crumb, which will ensure the reaction of the slime to the magnet. It is problematic to purchase a ready-made option, so you should use one of the proposed methods:

1. Make metal sand on your own by rubbing any unnecessary metal object with a file. The disadvantages of this method are laboriousness, significant time costs, and the danger of small particles getting into the eyes. Such work can only be carried out with a protective mask and gloves.
2. Use iron oxide powder if you can get it in production.
3. Purchase a powder developer for refilling printers.

To make the magnetic slime glow in the dark, you should add phosphoric paint to its composition. The materials from which the stirring stick is made are of great importance. Only wood or plastic can be used. Aluminum or iron products are not suitable for these purposes, as they enter into undesirable reactions with the ingredients. For the same reasons, the container should be glass or plastic.

To create a slime, you need to select a glue with a thick consistency. Otherwise, the required jelly-like mass will not work. Sodium tetraborate, which is one of the essential ingredients, is available from pharmacies in powder or liquid form.

Manufacturing instruction

There are several known options for self-made magnetic slime, differing in texture and the set of components used in the composition.

Classical

The classic magnetic slime is easy to make using the following ingredients:

• iron powder;
• a tube or bottle of stationery glue;
• dye (optional);
• sodium tetraborate (borax);
• water.

With the components at hand, you can get started:

1. In a glass container, mix 200 milliliters of water and 1/4 teaspoon of sodium tetraborate until fully combined and a homogeneous liquid is obtained.
2. Squeeze out the entire contents of the glue into a separate bowl and add half a glass of water. Stir well.
3. Add a few drops of food coloring. Various shades can be used to give the slime the desired individual color.
4. To the resulting mixture, add the prepared aqueous solution of sodium tetraborate and stir to make the mass homogeneous.
5. Continue stirring the mixture until it becomes stringy.
6. Spread the elastic mass on the table, roll it out and add 3 tablespoons of iron chips (iron oxide).
7. Knead the mixture by hand so that all components are perfectly combined, and the color becomes uniform.

Alternative recipe with liquid starch

This option requires the following components:

• metal shavings;
• liquid starch;
• PVA glue.

The creation process consists of several stages:

1. Pour 1/4 cup liquid starch into a glass or plastic container.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of iron powder and stir to distribute evenly.
3. Pour 1/4 cup of glue and stir vigorously until the mixture is completely homogeneous.
4. After that, within ten minutes, you need to knead the future slime with your hands so that it takes on its characteristic shape.
5. In case of insufficient consistency, add more liquid starch.
6. To check how correctly the slime is made, you need to bring a small magnet to it and observe the reaction.If the slime is attracted to it, then all the ingredients are normal.

From soap

The third popular recipe for making a magnetic slime at home is no more complicated than the previous ones. It is based on the simplest and most inexpensive components found in every home.

To create a gooey toy you will need:

• a bar of 72% classic laundry soap;
• 1 bottle of silicate glue;
• 2 teaspoons of metal shavings or crumbs;
• boric acid (in liquid form);
• optional dye.

Having prepared all the ingredients, you need to do the following:

1. Cut off about 1/8 of a piece of laundry soap, grind and place in a small glass jar.
2. Pour 100 milliliters of hot water (but not boiling water) and stir vigorously until smooth.
3. Pour the entire contents of the boric acid bottle into a separate container. Add previously prepared soap solution.
4. After thoroughly mixing the solution, pour in 70 milliliters of silicate glue and stir again evenly.
5. Add dye to the composition if desired.
6. Continue mixing the mixture for the future magnetic slime until the alcohol contained in the glue completely reacts with boric acid.
7. In order for the slime to be attracted to the magnet, you need to roll out the mass on the table and add one teaspoon of metal shavings to its very center. Knead vigorously and then add another teaspoon of this component.
8. At the end of the process, knead the slime with your hands for another 10-15 minutes so that it reaches the required consistency.

Ingredients for Liquid Starch Magnetic Slime

The ingredients used may differ depending on the recipe. To make a homemade magnetic slime, you need to decide on the type of composition. For the classic version you will need:

• Thick glue (regular stationery);
• Sodium tetraborate;
• Dyes (from 1 shade or more).

For the second recipe at home, components are used such as:

• PVA or Elmer glue.
• Liquid starch;

For a "soapy" recipe, it is proposed to take the following components:

• Boric acid;
• Laundry soap;
• Silicate glue;
• Dye.

Naturally, metal or magnetic shavings must also be added to every homemade recipe. It is she who provides the main effect of this type of slime. But adding dyes or not to the magnetic slime is optional.

Where to Buy Iron Oxide Powder

The main problem is that it is unrealistic to purchase iron oxide powder in the store. You can get it either by ordering on the Internet, or in the old fashioned way - by filing. You can find an ingredient on:

• Avito;
• Yulia;
• Aliexpress and so on.

The component can also be found in online stores. It is not uncommon for the powder to be distributed as a chemical in various chemistry resources.

Video how to make "Magnetic shavings"

A more budget option is to do it yourself. To do this, take any metal object and grind it down. But this method is time consuming. You can watch the video on how to make metal shavings for a magnetic slime at home:

The second, simpler option is proposed to be made from sparklers at home:

Toothpaste slime

Available recipes for slimes that are made at home based on toothpaste. Well-stretching slimes are obtained. Even a child can easily do them. An important point - choose the usual white paste, toys are not always made from gel and colored products.
