Toy lizun on the Russian market appeared in the late nineties. Her prototype was the eponymous funny ghost from the movie Ghostbusters. Children liked this strange-looking substance right away. They enjoyed spinning and wrinkling a toy, throwing it and sticking it to various surfaces.
Let this fun character settle in your home. He will delight your children. Moreover, psychologists say with confidence: manipulations with such objects remarkably relieve stress and contribute to the development of speech centers in a child.
Of course, you can buy a toy in the store, but there are several recipes that explain
how to make a slime at home. And it’s not even about saving money. First, you will know what exactly your slime is made of. Secondly, this is an interesting way to spend leisure time with a child, to teach him something new. You can create a whole collection of lizunov: green, red, blue and orange. You can add sparkles, beads, snowflakes and stars to it.
If you have several children (you are a teacher, or your nephews are thrown), then teach them how to make a slime, and you will be provided with a couple of hours of free time. You can hold a competition: whose toy will be the most original, who will throw it further, whose slime will slide faster on the wall. The process of making this item for fun is quite straightforward. It is only necessary to buy some ingredients in advance.
So, do the slime at home
For the first recipe, we need: 100 g of PVA glue, better than fresh, one and a half glasses of water, borax (sold in a pharmacy), dye, dishes (2 cups, a spoon, a glass, it is better to use disposable ones). To give color to the toy, you can take diluted gouache, paint for eggs and the like.
Dissolve a tablespoon of borax in one cup in a glass of water. In the other, mix one fourth cup of glue with the same amount of water. Dye is added to it. Stirring the mixture of glue and water, add the contents of the first cup to it. That's all, the process of creating a slime is completed. It is only necessary to rinse it under running water.
How to make a starch slime
This is a very easy way. It is necessary to thoroughly mix half a glass of warm, but not hot, water and the same amount of starch. The more you add it, the harder your slime will be. Do not forget to put dyes. Unfortunately, the slime made in this way will not jump.
How to make a lizun so that he can bounce off the floor
You will need dry polyvinyl alcohol powder . You can buy it in specialized stores of chemical reagents or order on the Internet. Dilute the obtained powder with water as described in the instructions, and cook, stirring, for about 40 minutes. It is better not to take expensive and new dishes for this. Then add borax solution (3 parts alcohol solution per 1 part borax) and dye to the pan. That's all - the toy is ready.
It is not enough to know how to make a slime, you need to be able to store it correctly. It is better to do this in a closed box or jar in a cool place.
