For inspiration! There is only one recipe - but there are many ideas! The most pleasant thing is that there are no exact proportions - a little more foam, and you will get a home-made mass for modeling, a little more soda - and the toy snow is ready!

I'll tell you right away Twhich option is suitable for children from 3 years old, as you need to be sure that the mixture of shaving foam and soda does not end up in your mouth.

Also, it's better to use hypoallergenic shaving foam if the child's skin is prone allergic reactions(or not use at all).

Option number 1 "Shaving foam ice cream and soda"

How to do: we take the most budgetary bottle of shaving foam, squeeze the foam into a container and mix with soda. In this version, you need to add more foam so that you can sculpt the balls. "Ice cream" is laid out in silicone molds for baking.

On top, our ice cream is sprinkled with colored rice, which we used as a pastry topping.

How to color rice I am sure that everyone has already dyed rice and made the most incredible developmental ideas out of it. Throughout the history of our touch games, I have tried many painting recipes, and settled on this one. Compound: - rice - food coloring (for example, Easter) - water (or alcohol) - painting containers - rice containers - a spoon How to do: 1. We distribute rice in a container (by the number of flowers). 2. Add to food coloring a large number of alcohol or water (about 1 tsp), stir and pour into containers. 3. Thoroughly mix the rice with a spoon until it is colored. 4. Leave to dry (it is better to put the rice on plates and distribute it in an even layer, if these are small portions, it will dry faster). 5. When the rice is dry, it will need to be transferred to storage containers.

Option #2 "Frozen Yogurt with Shaving Foam Fillers"

How to do: this is a very simple option - just squeeze the foam into the cups, and sprinkle with home-made fillers. Everything can be treated or sold to "sweet teeth"!

As cups for yogurt and fillers - here is such an "entertaining pyramid".

As spoons for ice cream and for fillers - here are such culinary measuring spoons (they are attached to a ring - it is convenient to store).

How to make filler: we take figured children's pasta and "cobweb", pearl barley and split peas. All this is painted in the same way as rice. Instead of "chocolate" - you can sprinkle with chicory or ground coffee.

Option number 3 "Soufflé with shaving foam and food coloring"

Colored shaving foam with food coloring can be used as a substitute for finger paints, but why not turn it into an airy soufflé for a toy candy store!

Option number 4 "Cheesecake with whipped cream"

How to do: take a household sponge, cut it diagonally - our "rainbow cheesecake" is ready! Squeeze out all the shaving foam on top - as whipped cream and sprinkle with whatever you like.

Option number 5 "Mass for modeling"

It can be called snow, and sand and snowy sand, since the mass turns out to be crumbly, but it makes excellent “kustki”, like sand.

How to do: mix shaving foam and soda, but this time you need to put more soda!

It remains to arm yourself with molds or build walls.

Such "cakes" can be decorated with details from a children's mosaic.

No. 6 "Cakes" made of cardboard and napkins

And here, another "dessert" idea, this time - from cardboard and ordinary napkins.

For the cakes you will need:

- cardboard circles (base)

- colored rice

- cotton pads

- glue

- paper napkins

How to do:

1. Cut out the leftovers cardboard boxes small circles for the base. To draw a circle evenly, you can simply attach a small saucer.

2. Cut colored paper napkins into pieces (I had the most a budget option from Ashan).

3. Cut out "icing" from cotton pads. 4. We paint the rice - this will be our "pastry dressing".

Now, we apply glue to the cardboard base and "cook" our cakes - i.e. post all this beauty. Then, apply more glue and sprinkle with colored rice. That's it, you can play and feed the entire puppet-toy company!

Slime is the happiness of children of the 90s of the last century and the nightmare of their parents. The name "lizun" was given to the toy after the release of the film "Ghostbusters", where one of the characters bore this name. The little gluttonous ghost ate everything that came in its path, smashed into a cake at speed against all sorts of obstacles and adored kissing slobberingly. For the similarity with this screen character, the toy fell in love with the children. And now many of them are bought with slimes in stores, and those who are more economical and more inventive do it themselves at home.

What is this strange toy

If you see on sale a plastic jar or container filled with a jelly-like substance with the inscription "Slime" or "Slime" on the package, then this is it. To understand what it is, you can only take the slime in your hands. It is soft to the touch, well crumpled and stretched, sticks to the walls, and then slides off them, often leaving greasy spots.

Left alone, the slime spreads over the surface in a puddle, but is easily collected by hands into a ball. It can stick to the hands, flow through the fingers, but become elastic when it hits the wall.

Slime was originally made from guar gum, a polysaccharide, and sodium tetraborate, better known as borax. The result was a material similar to slime, but with the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid. It does not spread, it is easy to assemble, and compacted upon impact.

There are many types of slime, here are some of them:

Slime. The mass, similar to jelly, is usually transparent. Does not stick to hands, flows through the fingers in long threads, spreads over a hard surface into a puddle.

Slime is soft and sticky

Antistress. This is mucus, placed in an elastic shell, covered with a cellular mesh. Forms bubbles when pressed.

Lizun "antistress" well relieves nervous tension

Gum for hands. More dense elastic mass. It is easy to wrinkle and stretch.

Gum for hands is more dense and elastic

Jumper. The densest slime. It is less elastic, but elastic. Bounces off hard surfaces.

Elastic bouncer bounces well off hard surfaces

Fluffy slime. Fluffy and very pleasant to the touch. Wrinkles well, stretches.

Fluffy slime - the most lush and airy slime

Plasticine. It keeps its shape better than others. Due to plasticity, various figures can be sculpted from it.

Plasticine holds its shape better than others

There are slimes that adhere well to surfaces, matte, transparent, with foam balls, mother-of-pearl, luminous, of various colors.

Of course, such a toy can be bought in a store, but it is more interesting to make it yourself from improvised means. What's more, it's quite easy to do.

How to make different types of slimes at home

What the industry makes modern slimes from is not known for certain, but what happens when sodium tetraborate is used when homemade the substance turns out to be very similar to a purchased toy - a fact. Let's start with this recipe.

From sodium tetraborate and PVA glue

Let's prepare all the ingredients:

Now you can pick it up, pull it, crush it, throw it and collect it again - the slime is ready.

Advice! When choosing a dye, remember that some of them will stain your hands.

With hair or shaving foam

Fluffy slime is made according to the same recipe. To give the slime fluffiness, hair or shaving foam is introduced into the composition.

1. Pour the glue into a suitable container.
2. Attach foam to it. the amount depends on how fluffy the mass should be. Stir.
3. Add a dye, you can use aniline or any other. Mix thoroughly again.
4. Pour sodium tetraborate into the mixture little by little while stirring. As soon as the composition thickens enough and begins to lag behind the walls of the dishes, it can be picked up and played.

The main condition for success in the manufacture of this type is good glue. If it does not thicken, all the work will go down the drain, nothing will work out.

From PVA glue and soda

But not only borax is used as a thickener. This function is perfectly performed by baking soda.

1. Dissolve baking soda in a little water.
2. Pour the glue into a bowl, add the dye and mix.
3. Gradually add the soda solution while mixing thoroughly. Wait until the mass thickens. This will not happen immediately, so do not rush to add more soda solution.
4. Knead the prepared mass in your hands. It will turn out even softer and more tender than the previous one, it wrinkles and stretches well.

Slime can be made shimmery by adding glitter to it

From alcohol and silicate glue

Used to make slime and silicate glue. But the properties of the toy will be different.

1. Pour the glue into the bowl and add color with any dye.
2. While stirring in a circular motion, add a little alcohol. You will see how the mass thickens, forming dense lumps.
3. Leave the substance to rest for 20 minutes.
4. Gather into a ball and knead well with your hands. Such a slime will not stretch and stick, its consistency is quite dense. But it will make an excellent jumper.
5. Roll the mass into a ball and try to hit it on the floor. The elastic ball bounces well off hard surfaces.

From starch and hydrogen peroxide

A hard bouncy ball is easy to make with ordinary starch. This does not require large expenses, the toy will cost a penny.

1. Mix 100 g of starch with 200 ml of hot water until a jelly-like mass is obtained.
2. Let cool and combine with 100 ml of PVA glue.
3. Add a suitable dye and a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Mix everything well. Hydrogen peroxide will give the toy lightness and airiness.
4. Roll the resulting mass into a ball. The jumper is ready.

From glue "Titan" and shampoo

A simple way to make a slime is with Titan glue. This glue is non-toxic, and after drying does not lose elasticity.

1. Mix glue with shampoo in a ratio of 3:2. The color and transparency of the toy will depend on the shampoo. For more color intensity, add dye.
2. Leave the mixture for a while to thicken, usually it takes 5 minutes.
3. Slime is ready. Simple and fast.

According to this recipe, it is not always possible to get the desired result, different shampoos behave differently. But it's worth a try, because you have nothing to lose.

Advice! Stir the mass until it lags behind the walls of the dish and stops sticking to your hands. These are signs of the readiness of the toy.

From glue stick

Another type of glue - a pencil, is also quite applicable for this purpose. Here we again need sodium tetraborate.

1. To do this, you need 4 pieces of glue stick. Remove the rods and put them in a fireproof dish.
2. Using a microwave or oven, melt the rods until a viscous mass forms.
3. Add dye to the glue mass, mix.
4. In a separate bowl, dissolve borax in a small amount of water.
5. Gradually add the solution to the glue with constant stirring, until the desired consistency is obtained.

Two video recipes for making slime

From plasticine

Slime can be made not only from glue. A good and durable toy is obtained from plasticine.

You will need:

• plasticine - 100 g;
• gelatin - 15 g;
• water - 250 ml.

1. Soak the gelatine in 200 ml of cold water using a fireproof bowl.
2. When the gelatin swells, bring it to a boil over low heat and immediately remove from heat. Let it cool down a bit.
3. Knead the plasticine so that it becomes soft. Mix with remaining water.
4. Combine still warm gelatin with plasticine, mix well until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
5. Place in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Such a toy can be safely given to children, because it does not contain harmful substances. There is a small problem: this type leaves greasy stains on the wallpaper. Make sure children don't throw it against walls.

From toothpaste and liquid soap

A completely safe option is a toothpaste slime. You can use regular and gel paste.

1. Mix 20 ml of toothpaste and liquid soap with 5 teaspoons of flour.
2. Stir until there are no lumps, first with a spoon and then with your hands. So that the mass does not stick to your hands, moisten them with water and knead well again.

From soap and shampoo

For the next look, you need only two ingredients that can be found in any home. This is a liquid soap and hair shampoo.

1. Mix liquid soap and shampoo in equal proportions until smooth.
2. Place in the refrigerator for a day.
3. Take it out and have fun.

Since this slime is made up of water-soluble substances, keep it away from moisture. From the heat of the hands, the toy quickly softens, you need to store it in the refrigerator. And do not allow contact with dust and dirt, it will not be possible to wash the slime. With care, this toy will last about a month.

From hand cream and perfume

You can even make a slime from hand cream. There is no guarantee that the toy will work, but it's worth a try.

1. Squeeze the cream into a bowl.
2. Add paint and stir.
3. Gradually adding perfume, mix everything thoroughly. The mixture will start to thicken.
4. Having achieved the desired consistency, knead the toy with your hands.

From flour

Often parents are afraid to give slime to young children for fear that they will put it in their mouths. For such a case, you can make a completely safe, edible slime without chemicals.

For this you will need:

• flour - 400 g;
• cold water - 50 ml;
• hot water - 50 ml;
• food coloring.

1. Sift flour into a bowl, mix with dry dye.
2. Add cold water, stir again.
3. Pour in hot water, knead the resulting dough well. It should be smooth and without lumps.
4. Place the dough in the refrigerator for several hours.
5. Once again, knead well with your hands.

Not all foods and substances are suitable for making slime. Not everything that looks like a slime has the necessary properties. To avoid making mistakes, watch the video.

Video experiments on making slime from different ingredients

How to give the slime the desired properties

Even if the slime turned out not the way you wanted, it can be fixed.

1. Vinegar will make the toy more elastic. Pour in a few drops and the slime will stretch better.
2. By adding hydrogen peroxide, you will get a lush mass, this is how fluffy slime is made.
3. A few drops of glycerin will help make the toy slippery.
4. Luminous slime can be obtained using fluorescent paint.
5. If the slime is too soft, put it in a jar, put some salt crystals in it, close the lid tightly and leave it overnight. Salt will draw out excess water and restore elasticity to the toy.
6. Too hard slime will be softer if you put it in a container overnight and pour in a few drops of water.
7. To make the toy smell pleasant, scent it essential oil, food flavoring or vanillin.
8. A magnetic slime can be made by adding small metal filings or iron oxide to it. Knead the toy well so that the additive is evenly distributed. And then your slime, as if alive, will reach for any magnet.
9. An anti-stress toy will turn out if you place the slime in a balloon. This can be done with a large syringe without a needle.
10. To increase the slime, place it in a container of water for 3 hours. Don't be scared if it falls apart, that's the way it should be. Add some salt and hand or body cream. Stir. The slime will not only restore elasticity, but also become larger.

Advice! Add multi-colored to the soft slime foam balls. This will make it colorful and increase in volume.

Rules for storage and care

Slime is a capricious toy and its lifespan is short. To extend it, you need to know how to properly store and care for the slime.

1. Slime is stored in a plastic container with a tightly closed lid.
2. To keep the slime from drying out, keep it away from heat sources, do not leave it in the sun.
3. A dried slime can be revived with a drop of water, a wet slime - with salt.
4. Lizun needs to be played with. Long storage can lead to mold growth. This toy will have to be thrown away.
5. Frequent use will lead to rapid contamination of the toy and loss of properties.
6. Avoid contact with fleecy surfaces, the slime will collect hairs on itself and become unusable.

Slimes are not just a children's toy, some species have and practical use. For example, they can clean a computer keyboard or clothes from adhering litter. Elastic develop fine motor skills, increase the strength of the fingers. Yes, and just soothe, relieve stress and give good mood. Make slimes and play, it's so much fun!

Many children like to play with a jelly mass that does not stick to their hands. It can take various forms. This toy is called a slime or slime. It was invented in the USA. Many children have fun with this unusual "plasticine".

Buying such a toy is not difficult. However, you can create it yourself. will be discussed in detail below. There are several options for how to cook such a toy yourself.

You can create a slime from various materials. The properties of the toy will depend on the chosen method. To understand to how to make slime out of shaving foam, several methods must be considered. All of them involve the use of various improvised materials.

Shaving foam helps to give volume to the mass. It contains certain chemicals that may be harmful to the body if ingested. Therefore, parents should ensure that the baby does not try to send the resulting mass into the mouth.

Some recipes use the simplest ingredients that are always on hand in every home. For other methods, you will have to purchase special substances, such as sodium tetraborate (borax). The simplest and effective recipes will be discussed further.

The slime bought in the store is a bright, interesting toy. It doesn't stick to hands. However, when making slime at home, you should not expect the absolute similarity of the final product with the purchased version. Considering this, you need to be prepared for this.

If glue, starch and other similar elements are used in the manufacturing process of the toy, the mass will still stick to the surfaces a little. Therefore, do not throw it on the floor, wallpaper and other objects.

To make the slime as colorful, you will need to choose the right dye. It is best if it is edible. There are many different color options available for sale. Children love bright colors. It is these colors that should be preferred.

Shaving foam can be very different. You can choose products from almost any manufacturer.

The easiest way

Almost anyone can create. In this case, you do not need to choose a special glue. This is the easiest and safest way to create slime. First you need to mix the mass of starch and water.

Add the same amount of dry matter to a glass of warm water. Starch can be added if necessary. The maximum allowable concentration can be 350 g of dry matter per 1 glass of water. The composition should be thoroughly mixed. After that, shaving foam is added to the starch mass. It will take quite a lot.

If desired, at this point you can add a little dye to the mass. Then everything is thoroughly mixed again. The result is a homogeneous mass with which the baby can have fun playing. It won't stick to your hands too much. However, it cannot be eaten.

Recipe with PVA glue

Another simple recipe is an slime made of PVA and shaving foam. It is better to choose the freshest ingredients. It is also necessary to prepare starch and warm water.

First, the starch mass is kneaded according to the above scheme. Dye is added to it. Some masters add sparkles to it. This gives a lot of unusualness. It should not have lumps, so all ingredients must be thoroughly mixed. Next, shaving foam is added. Again, everything needs to be mixed.

At the final stage, PVA glue is introduced into the mass. Soda can be used instead of starch. For 100 g of water, 50 g of glue will be required. Starch or soda add 1 tablespoon. In this case, the mass will be more brilliant. This is also an interesting recipe that can be considered one of the easiest and safest.

Slime from glue "Titan"

May be more complex. In this case, you will need to purchase not just PVA, but a special glue. It's called "Titan". In this case, starch is not required. You can buy titanium glue in hardware stores. It should also not be ingested by the child. Parents of young children should be aware of this.

It is recommended to knead the slime in a strong plastic bag. It is necessary to pour the contents of a can of shaving foam into it. For two parts of foam you need three parts of glue. It must be very fresh. Next, the contents of the package must be shaken well. The ingredients must be thoroughly mixed. The mass will thicken.

Before applying the glue, you can add a dye. The choice depends on the taste preferences of the child. He himself can choose the color of his future toy. And you can show imagination. Instead of the usual food coloring, you can add sparkles of various sizes. In this case, the slime will be original and interesting.

Slime with boron

In my own way appearance closest to the version bought in the store. Therefore, you will have to purchase sodium tetraborate powder at the pharmacy. You can also use a liquid solution (4%). A drug such as Borax is also suitable. You should also purchase fresh PVA glue, dye.

Pour the glue into the prepared plastic bag. Dye is added to it. That's where the shaving foam comes in. The mass is thoroughly mixed. Carefully pour the boron solution into the bag. You will need 1 vial of liquid agent or pre-prepared dry matter. 1 tablespoon of sodium tetraborate powder is mixed with half a glass of water.

After that, you will get a jelly mass. It is necessary to remove excess moisture from it. The resulting slime must be well blotted with a napkin. The clot needs another five minutes to rumple in the bag. After that, they can play.

Glue and foam slime

making slime made of glue and shaving foam, you can use the simplest components. Most easy recipe suggests avoiding the addition of starch, boron and other substances.

Just a dye is added to the PVA glue. A little foam is poured into it. The whole procedure is also performed in the package. Next, the mass is thoroughly mixed until it thickens. Then the resulting slime is taken out of the package and also wrinkled with hands for a long time. This procedure will take quite a lot of time. However, after the glue dries, you get a slime that is very similar to the purchased version.

This is an easy and safe way to make slime at home. After playing with such "plasticine", the child should wash his hands thoroughly.

After the game, the child should put the slime on paper. This will prevent lint, dirt and other foreign objects. In this case, you can play slime for a longer time.

If the baby does not put the slime in his mouth, this toy is considered absolutely safe. After using it, wash your hands thoroughly. Too much dye to put in the mass is not recommended. The toy will leave marks on hands, clothes.

It is necessary to store the clot in a cool place and in a closed container. The mass should not dry out. If this does happen, you can put the clot in warm water for a few minutes. After that, the slime needs to be kneaded. It can be used again in the game.

Having considered how to make slime out of shaving foam and other components, you can independently make an interesting children's toy.

Who said that only kids can make an entertaining and educational game out of nothing? In the hands of a creative mother, there is everything so that her children can occupy themselves for a while with something very new, and at the same time, the damage from such a game was minimal. All we need for the game: dad's shaving cream, paint and maybe just a little bit of starch. Well, if you want to arrange a day of original games for friends, you will have to buy a few spray cans in reserve.

What to do with the little ones?

There are several options for the smallest lovers to play with adult things. I must say right away that it is better to play in old things without the risk of ruining them. To begin with, I suggest playing in a small "sandbox". To do this, all you need to do is mix the foam with baby powder. The mass is perfectly crumpled and you can sculpt figures, and if you wish, arrange a snowfall.

You can paint with foam and make fun splashes. You just need to find paint for children's creativity water based. It seems to me that you can even try finger paints to dilute and mix a little. We take the largest container made of plastic and squeeze the cream into it.

In general, the most entertaining thing is to draw with your fingers on the table. Today, special tables with lights and sand are sold for big money so that the child can draw and create pictures with his fingers. Smear the foam on the old table and give the opportunity to draw with it, not a single little one will miss!

Taking care of older kids

If it’s quite enough for kids up to three or four years old to just get dirty to the maximum and not get it from their mother, then older children claim to be more adult creative process. And here you can already connect several techniques using such homemade paints.

1. I really liked this option with making sand for modeling. The process is simple to disgrace: you just need to mix the cream with dyes and add starch. Add dyes to cups with cream.

And then we give one glass to our child and starch to help. Every toddler will like the process: gradually add a spoonful of starch and get an increasingly dense mass for modeling. That's what beauty turns out, than not fashionable dough from boxes?

2. Bright beautiful colors on paper are excellent. And volumetric paints are doubly good. To prepare these, you will need the same shaving cream, PVA glue, flour and food coloring. Your task is to mix all the ingredients and place the finished mass in a soft plastic tube. There is also full will to experiment. The more flour, the thicker the paint will be. And at the expense of its spreading and maintaining the shape, then here you have to choose the most ideal variant of the ratio of glue and cream for yourself. It seems to me that we will definitely try this with my daughter, it will only be necessary to find brighter paints and a large sheet of drawing paper.

3. And here is another no less original way engage children in creativity. From thick cardboard we cut out a variety of figures, letters, whatever your heart desires.

And now the most crucial moment! We create something amazing from paints, just dripping drop by drop onto the foam.

4. And finally, the most interesting thing that can be offered for girls. Decorate and make original decors on clothes is usually liked by every young fashionista. I was delighted with the method by which you can make something unrealistically cool out of a simple thing. That's what unearthly beauty can come from the most ordinary white T-shirt or skirt.

The principle is simple and not much different from previous entertainment. Only this time we will add fabric paints to the foam.

We take a tray and squeeze out more cream there. We distribute it.

Now add a few drops of fabric dye.

Using a toothpick, we make stains that are very reminiscent of the pattern of natural marble.

Take a piece of cloth white color and simply apply it with the side that will later be the face of the product.

We leave until the pattern is visible on the reverse side, which means that the paint is well absorbed.

Here's how many fun patches you can make. The more dye you add, the brighter the marble pattern will turn out.

We will use the most ordinary garbage bags, well, or just a piece of polyethylene. This solution is for a large piece of fabric. The principle is this: we apply cream on one bag and distribute the paint, then we put the second one on top and carefully work everything out with our hands so that the dye is distributed and absorbed.

Between the packages you can put the fabric itself. And then just remove the top package and you're done.

As for me, much easier!
