One of the most beloved children's toys is lizun. He is able to change shape, stick to doors and walls, while leaving no traces on them. However, many of these toys, which are sold in stores, do not meet all quality standards, namely, they are not environmentally friendly. Therefore, in this article we will look at how to make a lizun at home, which certainly will not harm you or your child.
We make a quality slime
There are many ways to produce lizun at home. Some of them are simpler, others require components that you need to buy at a pharmacy or hardware store. Therefore, to begin with, we will deal with the components that you will need to create such a toy. So, the first way to make a slime, includes some components that may not be in your home, namely:
- fresh PVA glue (150 ml);
- slightly warmed water (200 ml);
- food coloring or simple green;
- 4% borax solution (it can be purchased at any pharmacy, and if it doesn’t work, then replace it with borax in the form of a powder);
- latex gloves.
So, for starters, we dissolve the dye in water. If this is a purchased mixture, then follow the instructions. If you use brilliant green, then a few drops are enough. The main thing is to mix well so that the water acquires a uniform shade. Then pour glue into the water and once again mix everything thoroughly. The more glue, the bigger your toy will be.
We track the process in more detail
Many do not know how to make a slime further, because they often neglect proportions. We reveal secrets and describe step by step the further process: it is necessary to dissolve dry powder (borax) in water, strictly following the instructions on the package. Then gradually pour it into the mass of glue and water, while mixing. When doing this, watch out for the viscosity of the slime. If you fill it with a lot of tetraborate, it will become too hard. If you do the opposite, the toy will spread and will not be able to maintain any shape. After that, pour the whole mixture into a plastic bag and wrinkle hands with gloves on. Everything, the toy is ready!
Short-term pleasure
Now consider how to make a slime without tetraborate. This method is much faster and cheaper, so let's go. You will need clay, gelatin and half a glass of water. Make jelly powder first. Boil it to the desired state, and leave for a while. Then boil 50 grams of water and boil the plasticine in it, disassembled into pieces. When the mixture becomes homogeneous, pour it in the jelly and mix everything thoroughly. The slime is ready, however, he will serve you no more than two weeks.
Easiest option
Many parents are concerned about the question of how to make a slime without sodium, but at the same time, so that it serves for a long time. To do this, you need water and starch. In equal proportions, mix these two components and the hat. Also, to give a more effective appearance, dye, sparkles can be added to such a substance, and for the aroma, drop a little essential oil.
Knowing how to make a slime at home, you can conduct various experiments, creating new shapes and shades. Such a toy can serve not only as children's entertainment, but also as a gift that will cheer up any adult.
