From toilet paper

The activator for this recipe is prepared from 200 ml of water and 2 tsp. sodium tetraborate, but you can take any other thickener. The main thing is not to add too much of it. The base should be stretchy and weak, because it has to dry in the air. After that, it will acquire the desired consistency, as well as transparency.

Components

• 1 piece of ball plasticine,
• 10-12 cm double-ply toilet paper,
• 1-2 tbsp. l. hot water,
• 0.5 tsp diluted sodium tetraborate.

2. Finely chopped toilet paper is also added to it.
3. The components are filled with hot water.
4. Now they need to be combined so that there are no lumps left, and cooled in the open air.
5. The cooled mass is filtered through a fine sieve.
6. Diluted sodium tetraborate must be poured into the resulting thick liquid.
7. After prolonged mixing with a spoon, the denser mass is left in an open container for 1 day.

If the slime does not work

Sometimes it happens that the slime does not work because of the glue, which turned out to be too old. The situation can be improved by adding a film face mask to the slime and mixing well. You may need to add a drop of tetraborate to thicken the slime. Tetraborate can be replaced with less toxic baking soda by adding a teaspoon a little and stirring frequently.

If the slime is too thick and hard, it breaks in your hands, you need to restore its elasticity by adding one of the activators:

• Gel for washing, for example, "Persil".
• Spray for Teymurov's feet.
• Lens storage fluid.
• Sodium tetraborate.

It is better not to use starch and flour, as the slime will turn out to be matte, it will not be so smooth and glossy.

Sodium tetraborate free

In light, this toy looks like an ordinary slime with a hint of used dye. You can check how it glows in the dark even before the infusion of the activator. This makes it possible to save paint by adding only a fraction of the indicated amount and evaluating the base in a room without access to light.

How to play with decorative slime?

Knowing how to decorate a slime can transform even an unattractive toy. But remember: additional ingredients have special features that should be considered when playing.

If the handgam contains sparkles, toys, beads, you cannot squeeze the slime with your palm. The elements of the decoration have sharp edges, a hard texture, so they can injure the baby's handle.

Foam balls and powder are not harmful, but children inevitably pull such delicious-looking slimes into their mouths. Only allow babies to handle slimes under adult supervision, especially when the handgam smells good or looks bright and attractive.

Important! Slime with embellishments looks more attractive. But sometimes additional elements shorten the service life of the handgam.

A ball or glitter slime is harder to enlarge or fix when it dries. Remember: Jeweled slimes are short-lived, so take care of them and play more often.

What is a slime and why is it needed?

Translated from English, the word "slime" means mucus. The toy is a jelly-like mass, while the substance does not spill and is easy to collect. Slimes have gained popularity not only because of their appearance. Their purpose is:

1. relieving stress in adults;
2. development of fine motor skills of hands, dexterity, coordination in children.

They can:

• stretch;
• spread out;
• pour from hand to hand.

It is pleasant for the fingers, helps to calm down, to distract from problems. The resulting air bubbles burst when the slime is squeezed. You can enhance the effect by adding to the mass, for example, foam balls, which crunch, touching each other.

Experiments with slimes help develop logical thinking and imagination.

For example, consider what this means - slime drizzling, how it turns out. Slime cloud can be nodrized by repeated stretching, as a result of which its structure will become porous. When draining, such a substance resembles falling snow - a slime drizzly.

Storage and use rules

Slime stays viscous longer and does not stick to your hands if stored properly. If left anywhere, it will quickly lose its properties. A good owner has a slime for 3-4 weeks. Store it in a container with a lid or in a small bag (zip bag).

The container is placed on the side shelf of the refrigerator. The slime feels great there. You can't forget about him. If they are not played, it will become moldy. During the game, the slime must not be thrown on fleecy surfaces, on the ground

A dirty toy can be washed gently with warm water. With the help of saline solution, the volume of the dried slime is restored

Is the composition of fillers dangerous for children?

• In general, slimes do not pose any danger, however, it is not recommended to give them to children under 3 years of age. At this age, they get to know the world by tasting everything. Avoid getting the mass on the mucous membranes.
• Slimes sold in stores are quality certified and do not pose any danger, while homemade slimes can be unsafe.
  Not always during the manufacture of slimes at home, all the necessary rules are followed. This can threaten the appearance of a rash and redness of the skin while playing.
• The danger can include such toy fillers as borax, PVA glue, starch and gelatin. By themselves, these substances are not harmful, but if the exact dosage is not observed, then their combination can become toxic.
• Food components that are added in the manufacture of certain types of slimes are no less dangerous. Mold and pathogenic bacteria grow in them, which leads to the development of a fungus or to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

What slime do the roses come from?

The rosette can be twisted from any slime. But a flower made from jelly slime retains its shape no longer than 1-3 seconds, and a rose from a dense hendgam turns out to be rough and "clumsy". Therefore, it is necessary to make a chewing gum for hands that stretches well, curls and does not spread into a drop.

Bloggers explain how to make a rose from slime. To do this, make an elastic handgum. Next, knead it in your hands, that is, stretch it and fold it in half. As a result, many longitudinal stripes appear on the slime. Subsequently, they will create the effect of delicate petals.

At the last stage, stretch the slime, squeeze its edge with your thumb and forefinger, twist the entire mass in a spiral, expanding from the center. Hide the other edge of the handgam underneath. The rosette is ready!

A beautiful rose is obtained from a slime made on the basis of a film mask. This cosmetic product has a thick gel consistency, which, when interacting with air, turns into an elastic film. These products are often rich in gold, silver or black to help women keep track of the thickness of the mask. This quality allows you to spin a beautiful “precious” or black rose.

Required Ingredients

Basic components of a slime:

• glue, preferably PVA or transparent clerical;
• food coloring;
• thickener;
• glowing element.

Let's see what is added to the slimes to make them glow? There are several types of this component. They can be purchased at specialty stores that sell art supplies.

1. Luminescent glowing paint. It is made on the basis of a phosphor that is filled with solar energy during the day and gives off the accumulated light waves at night. Moreover, such paint is recharged literally within ten to fifteen minutes of being in daylight or artificial light.
2. Fluorescent acrylic luminous paint. It shines exceptionally in the sun and with electric light, even dim, but after turning it off, the glow effect disappears. It can be used, but in complete darkness your slime will not glow.

Application and storage rules

What you need to know about slimes:

1. When at rest, the slime should be in a closed plastic container. The lid is not needed if a slime iceberg is used as a toy.

3. Often, use is also not recommended, as it leads to dirt and loss of elasticity.
4. The storage location should be far from heat sources. It is forbidden to leave in the sun.
5. The appearance of liquid is corrected by the addition of salt.
6. If the toy is dry, water is added to it, as it can revive it.

The slime should not come into contact with fluffy surfaces. The consistency of slime tends to collect small particles. Having collected the hairs on itself, it becomes unusable for further use.

What colors are there

Thermochromic powder changes color when the temperature changes. For example, at room temperature, it can be red, and if you put it in the refrigerator or take it outside, the slime changes color to white.

Also, due to the peculiarities of this pigment, slime can change more than two colors. For example, at -15 ° C it will turn blue, at + 10 ° C it will turn green, and at + 50 ° C the slime changes color to yellow. It all depends on the chosen dye.
