Handgum is a great resemblance to a cartoon character. In Russia, this type of entertainment gained incredible popularity in the nineties. But such “pleasures” could leave behind such greasy spots that nothing could be removed. Handgum was invented in Scotland, and Chinese manufacturers launched it into mass production.
What is this thing? How to do it?
The toy "lizun" is an unusual green creature that immediately found its fans among many children. This is an excellent tool for massage the hands and the development of fine motor skills of the fingers. There are some more interesting names for this toy: clever plasticine, slim, chewing gum for hands, handgams. How to make them? The first way is the easiest. "Lizuna" can be obtained from water and sodium tetraborate. You need to take 100 grams of PVA glue, one glass of water heated to 20 degrees Celsius, and a four percent solution of borax. You can add dye or gouache to give the "color" of the desired color. Mix all the ingredients. The toy is ready. But it has the peculiarity of attracting fibers from carpets and dust particles from any surface. Therefore, the "lizuna" should be protected from excessive external influences with things and properly stored. Keep it in a cool place.
Second way
How to make handgum without sodium tetraborate, because this powder is dangerous when inhaled and if it enters the stomach? Instead of borax, you can add corn starch. For the recipe, you should take all the ingredients, as in the previous time, only replacing sodium tetraborate.
Third way: easy and simple
How to make handgams from shampoo and glue? Now we will tell. First, glue and shampoo are taken in a ratio of 3: 1, respectively. The color of the toy will depend on the shade of the hair wash. We mix everything thoroughly in a plastic bag to a homogeneous consistency. If you pour shampoo more than the norm, the toy will be more elastic, and the glue will add elasticity and strength to it. Now with the "slime" you can play.
Fourth method: fast but short-lived
No one is surprised that at the present time everything can be made, even handgams. How to make this toy durable so that it makes the baby happy and helps him develop? In the method that will be described below, the "lizun" will turn out to be bouncing and, of course, will become a good friend for the child. For the manufacture you need to take silicate glue and vodka. Mix these two ingredients in such an amount that the last substance is one and a half times more. Get a lot of white. Next, you need to take the resulting substance in your hands and rinse in cold water. So it turned out handgam. Everything is molded from it. Yes, and he jumps a meter. You won’t be able to play with such a friend for a long time. With all its unique properties, it can only please a few hours. As a result, it dries and crumbles.
Fifth method: fragrant "lizun"
How to make handgams without sodium tetraborate, and so that it has the same properties as the real one? As regrettable as it may be, one-on-one hand-made handgams, like a factory "lizun", will fail. But as much as possible to bring its similarity. First of all, sodium tetraborate should be replaced with a household chemical product that already contains it. You can try to make a toy from PVA and liquid powder. It is necessary to pour glue into the container, preferably fresh. This will ensure the elasticity of the toy. Leave aside for five minutes.
Drain the emerging liquid. Add dye to your liking. You can even make the future "slime" as environmentally friendly as possible by coloring it with carrot or beetroot juice, adding crumb from pastel crayons to the mixture. In all the contents you need to drip one drop of liquid powder and mix. The resulting mass will begin to thicken. The powder must be added in portions until the handgam stops sticking to the hands. It is not necessary to take special utensils for the manufacture of "lizun". The mixing process can be carried out even in a conventional bag. If there is no liquid powder, you can add a shower gel. In this case, a pleasant aroma of "lick" will be provided.
Sixth method: use the microwave
How to make handgams without tetraborate? For example, you can make such a thing from starch and water. Take two components in a ratio of 1: 1. Oil and dyes are added as desired. The mixture will need to be heated in the microwave to a thickening state for about thirty seconds, no longer. Otherwise, excessive drying will be observed. Roll the resulting mass into a ball. Lizun is ready.
Seventh method: we prepare glue and soda
How to make handgams from soda? Very simple. We take half a glass of baking soda and one hundred milliliters of PVA glue, fifty milliliters of water, dye, jars and a stick. The glue mixes with water. Then a dye is added, everything is mixed to a uniform color with a wooden stick, which was specially prepared for this. The water was originally taken only a third, and the rest should be diluted to a porridge-like state of soda. Then this mass should be poured into the mixture with glue, stir. When the "slime" reaches a homogeneous state, it will thicken. It can turn out liquid because of an excess of water. It is important not to overdo it with water. Such a "lizun" can be used for a fun pastime.
Add glycerin
If a person has undertaken to make handgams with his own hands, how to make them elastic enough? Add glycerin. Good elasticity and a return to its initial stage of "lick" will be provided, but greasy traces can not be avoided.
Conclusion
Now you know what handgams are, how to do such things, we also examined. You can give some advice to those who like to craft something themselves. Any sliding toy that crawls through the holes made at home will be inferior to the one produced in industrial plants. But what good is such creativity? It makes it possible to experiment, develops imagination, excites the imagination.
