How to make a slime without a thickener (activator)?

Slime is an anti-stress toy that is very popular with children. You can not only buy it in the store, but also make it yourself. How to prepare a slime that will be completely safe for a child, we will consider in the article.

Most often, in order to make a slime, a so-called activator is used. It means a special substance that acts as a thickener and helps transform the mass into something thick and viscous, which is ultimately called lizun. Most often, a certain substance with boric or salicylic acid in the composition acts as an activator. Often, for making slime at home, an antiseptic is purchased, which can be found in almost any pharmacy - sodium tetraborate. It makes the solution thicker and more viscous, but for some this substance is harmful and can cause symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness. Sodium tetraborate can be especially dangerous for a small child, and if you decide to make your own anti-stress toy for him, you will have to find a replacement for this thickener.

You can also use a lens solution instead of an activator to make your toy more elastic and stretchy. Soda is usually added to the compositions that are based on this substance, but water does not need to be added. The advantage of this composition is that it is absolutely safe for the child and quite affordable for purchase.

You can also replace the activator with starch, cosmetics, borax powder and even eye drops. The latter are used extremely rarely, but nevertheless they perfectly contribute to the thickening of the mixture, especially if boric acid is present in their composition.

Some people buy ordinary gelatin for making slime, which can make the mass more plastic and airy. It is also completely harmless to the child's body.

Shaving foam has many benefits and is well suited for making slime at home. It can thicken the composition of the slime, make it more stretching and airy.

After that, you can add dye to the mixture, if desired, so that your slime is not just white. Further, the entire composition must be mixed well and kneaded with your hands. Perhaps at first he will be very clinging to his hands, but this should soon pass.

If the mixture comes out not thick enough or, on the contrary, too thick, then this can be adjusted with PVA glue and shampoo.

Plasticine is also suitable for making homemade slime. You can do with it without the use of dye, as this ingredient will give your toy a certain color anyway.

To prepare the slime, you will need a piece of plasticine, 2 tablespoons of PVA glue, the same amount of shaving foam and a tablespoon of foam mask. Plasticine needs to be divided into small pieces, and all other components must be mixed well in a separate container so that you get a homogeneous mass. After that, plasticine is added to the mixture in pieces, and the composition itself is kneaded in such a way that the plasticine is completely distributed, and the coloring of the toy becomes uniform. Then the toy is placed in the refrigerator for a while, after which it can also be used for playing.

Shampoo, just like perfume, can give your anti-stress toy a pleasant scent that sets it apart from other slimes.

So, to make a shampoo-based slime, you need 3 tablespoons of the main component and the same amount of PVA glue. If you wish, you can add a couple of drops of dye to the composition, but if your shampoo initially has one or another color, there is no need for this. All components of the mixture must be thoroughly mixed so that the mass becomes homogeneous and thick. After that, the mixture is removed to the refrigerator or to the cold balcony.

There is also a simpler recipe that takes less time. For it, you need only 50 grams of dry clay, 30 grams of PVA glue and 15 grams of shampoo. All this is thoroughly mixed until smooth, while the mass should turn out to be elastic.

Shower gel is another good ingredient for making slime that can give it a pleasant and delicious scent. So, you need 200 milliliters of thick gel, ordinary salt and, if desired, a dye, as well as various decorations in the form of beads and other trifles.
