You can buy a finished lizun at any toy store. But not every parent decides to “slip” into his child a substance of indeterminate composition. If you want to be sure of the safety of what your child is playing with, learn about ways to make a slime out of flour and other improvised products yourself.

Flour and shampoo slime

Immediately make a reservation that in most recipes we will not indicate the proportions of the components. The adhesive properties of flour of different quality can vary significantly. Exactly, like shampoo of various brands will have a viscosity, consistency, etc. not the same as that of products of other companies. Therefore, in most cases you will have to measure the quantities of the components to be combined “by eye”, focusing on the properties of the resulting mass.

Consider the first method of making a slime, or slime.

Prepare:

  • flour;
  • shampoo;
  • dye.

Perhaps this is the most affordable recipe, since its components, with the exception of the dye, can be found in almost every home. Dye is needed only for color. It does not affect the consistency in any way. If you want, you can not use it, but then the slime will not have a very attractive look.

  1. Pour a little shampoo into the bowl, about as much as it fits in a full palm.
  2. Add 4 to 5 drops of food color in any color. Stir until smooth.
  3. Add about two teaspoons of flour. Now the mass needs to be kneaded for a long time and hard, until it turns into a homogeneous lump. The resulting slime from shampoo and flour will more closely resemble a play dough of the Play Do type.

This is a one-time entertainment. After some time, the toy will dry.However, the manufacturing process of the slime is very exciting, so it is quite possible to involve children in it. The way to get the slime will itself be part of the game.

How to make with soap

The soap recipe is very similar to the previous description.

This time for the manufacture of lizun you will need:

  • all the same flour;
  • liquid soap with any aroma;
  • some water;
  • a couple drops of castor oil.

The dye can be introduced at any stage. You can not go broke on special paints, but add a drop of gouache to the soap.

  1. Squeeze the liquid soap from the bottle into a bowl.
  2. Dilute it a little with water and beat in a thick foam.
  3. Now add the flour in small portions, kneading each time well.
  4. Remove the resulting lump from the bowl. Drizzle castor oil on it. Knead the pasty mass properly, washing it with your hands.

It will be something like chewing gum for hands. This mass is torn, but also easy to assemble back into a lump. It's nice to crush. She is very gentle and soft to the touch.

Making Shower Gel

Preparing a lizun from a shower gel is easier than it sounds.

You will need:

  • in fact, shower gel;
  • flour;
  • body oil like Johnson baby products.

Flour is added to the shower gel in portions: sifted, mixed. And so on until you get a soft, uniform lump.

At first, the mass will stick very strongly to the hands. Roll it in flour and knead again each time. At the end of the process, when the lizun is almost ready, grease your palms with cosmetic oil and with fat hands, properly knead the resulting mass.

From the oil, the lysun will cease to stick and become even more tender. Over time, of course, it will dry out. In the meantime, you have time to play with him.

With the addition of salt and water

Salt dough, or dough plastic, is prepared from flour, salt and water. Interesting crafts are made from the mass. They can subsequently be dried in the open air or in the oven, as well as painted.

For the manufacture of testoplastics you need:

  • salt and flour in equal proportions;
  • cold water;
  • a small amount of oily hand cream.

Raw dough consistency resembles a slime. It wrinkles well and stretches.

  1. In the first step, mix the salt and flour in a bowl. You can add some dye to the water: artificial food or natural, for example, in the form of carrot juice, beetroot, spinach. If there is nothing suitable at hand, color the water with ordinary gouache.
  2. Pour cold water into a mixture of salt and flour in small portions. Stir the resulting lumps each time. Continue until the slime from flour and water is sufficiently dense and resilient.
  3. Mash it with a little hand cream so that all the fat mass is absorbed into the dough. If what you got continues to stick to your hands - add flour.
  4. When the dough is smooth and uniform, wrap it in baking paper and put it in the refrigerator for two hours. The mass can be safely stored there for up to seven days.

After staying in the fridge, the slime will become plastic and pliable. The slime made in this way is very pleasant to wrinkle in the hands.

Flour and Toothpaste Slime

For the manufacture of lizun, various household products can be used.

In order for the mass to become viscous, a binder component (PVA glue, flour, starch, etc.) must be added to it. And in order for it to acquire plasticity, it is necessary to use some kind of gel-like substance.

In a specific example, we will mix flour with toothpaste.

In addition to these components, we will also need:

  • liquid soap;
  • cold water;
  • dye;
  • some cosmetic oil.

Proceed:

  1. Squeeze part of the paste from the tube into a bowl.
  2. Add soap and dye to it. Stir, we get a foamy mass with many bubbles.
  3. We add quite a bit of water so that the foam does not become so thick. And then we mix flour into it, batch by batch.
  4. Stir all the lumps very carefully. Squeeze a drop of cosmetic oil into a bowl.
  5. We take the lump in our hands and bring it to the desired consistency.

It turns out to be soft, plastic, but not very elastic. It breaks easily enough, but it also just sticks back to a whole piece.

As you can see, even from the simplest means you can make a decent toy. The process of its manufacture is no less exciting than the further game. Call the children and invent their own recipes, for example, try to make a slime from glue and flour. From now on, you can be calm about the composition of the slime your child plays with.
