Ninja slime is a popular anti-stress toy that develops fine motor skills and imagination. It can be stretched to give it any shape. Such toys are also called lizuns. The Ninja Slime line has distinctive features - a pleasant aroma, some toys glow in the dark. To protect the health of the child, many parents are looking for instructions on how to make a Ninja Slime themselves.
What does ninja slime look like
Slimes are a viscous slimy substance, which is how they got their name. They are also referred to as "smart liquids." Such a toy can exhibit its properties in different ways. If left at rest, the substance will simply spread. With any external influence, the mass becomes dense and hard.
The appearance of ninja slime has its own distinctive features that distinguish it from other slimes:
- glow in the dark;
- have a pleasant smell;
- can be given any shape;
- how chameleons can change color;
- able to stretch to a translucent film;
- can be blown into large bubbles;
- able to retain water;
- do not stain the skin and do not stick.
Important! If the ninja slime has a strong aroma and color, this should be a warning sign. Most likely, chemical dyes were used in its creation, which can be harmful to health.
Ninja slime is sold in separate beautiful packages made of transparent plastic. The container looks like a dome, on top of which is a ninja with a headband. The image is accompanied by inscriptions about what superpowers the slime has.
Another difference from fakes is the sticker on the bottom of the package. It has the brand's motto: "Mini! Pull! Blow!" For the last action, a tube similar to a sword is attached to the back for inflating the balloons. Each ninja slime has a special aroma, color, filling and set of properties. Such anti-stress toys weigh very little: about 130 g.
Important! There are ninja slimes weighing 300 and 500 grams. They can be used to blow huge bubbles.
Types of Ninja Slimes
The company has released 20 varieties of slimes in total. Many people even try to collect a full collection of these anti-stress toys.
- "Golden" - this ninja slime stands out for its color, reminiscent of honey. The slime is soft, has a pleasant aroma. It makes a crunching sound when you knead it.
- "Silver" has a beautiful color and soft consistency. But it has two features: a specific aroma and a magnetic field. If you put a magnet next to it, the slime will be drawn to it, changing shape.
- Ninja Slime "Universe" stands out with its bright purple color. It is smaller than other slimes, as the mass contains foam balls. When a child starts using it, a thin film similar to outer space is obtained during the game.
- The slime "Starry Night" can be scary with its black color. It also contains polystyrene foam balls. If you stretch the slime, you will get a tabletop imitation of the night sky, strewn with stars. When you first take it out, the toy has a repulsive smell and a sticky consistency, but then these features disappear.
- "Northern Lights" is a ninja slime with iridescent effects reminiscent of this natural phenomenon. The slime is similar in consistency and aroma to shampoo. Only it stretches and you can blow big bubbles out of it.
- The "charming" slime is similar to the previous one, but it is bright pink in color.
- Slimes that glow in the dark. Children are offered toys in yellow, blue and green. The last of them has a pleasant apple aroma.
- Color-changing slimes are called "chameleons." Pink slime turns white, orange turns yellow. And in order for a purple toy to change color to blue, it needs to be heated. But for this, it is not at all necessary to use high temperatures - it is enough to knead the toy in your hands.
- The brand offers flavored slimes. There are slimes with the smell of ice cream, strawberry, Coca-Cola and chocolate.
- There is also a "Mix Colors" line. The set includes a capsule with a viscous liquid of a different color. Thanks to this, beautiful iridescent effects are obtained.
- Children love the series "Lost World". Inside the viscous mass there is a figurine of a lizard, dinosaur or other animal.
Please note! Ninja slimes, thanks to their special properties, develop not only fine motor skills, but also the child's imagination. They also involve almost all senses during the game.
Ingredients for Ninja Slime
The set of components depends on the chosen method. But for creating ninja slime at home, the most popular components are:
- brown powder;
- water;
- glue;
- glitter or dye.
All proportions also depend on the method of making the ninja slime and on what size this anti-stress toy will be.
How to make ninja slime
Because there are many fakes in stores, many parents are interested in how to make ninja slime at home. First of all, you need to stock up on the necessary ingredients. To make slime, you will need:
- borax powder;
- water;
- glue;
- glitter;
- dyes.
Please note! You can create the toy together with your children - they will enjoy taking an active part in preparing the “smart liquid”.
Classic Ninja Slime Recipe
To prepare the slime, you will need 1 tablespoon of baking soda, 50 g of PVA glue and 100 ml of water. The glue must be combined with 50 ml of water, and dyes must be added to the solution. Soda must be dissolved in the remaining 50 ml of water. Add the resulting solution to the glue-water mixture. Mix all the components thoroughly to get the perfect mass for the craft.
Based on office glue with boric acid
Boric acid is sold as a powder. It needs to be mixed with water in one container. In another, glue and water are mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Then, if desired, glitter or dye can be added to the water-glue solution.
The ingredients need to be mixed well, after which half of the boric-water solution should be poured in. It is necessary to look at the consistency of the slime. If it is too liquid, you can add more boric-water solution.
Glue and shaving foam
The slime made from these ingredients is fluffy and pleasant to the touch. The key component is shaving foam. The step-by-step instructions are as follows:
- In one container, mix 20 ml of foam and liquid soap, 80 ml of PVA glue.
- Carefully add 1 teaspoon of tetraborate to the mixture.
- Then, if desired, add coloring and flavoring to the mixture. Spices are suitable as flavorings.
When using high-quality glue, the slime mixture will immediately become thick. You can do without tetraborate and soap. But then you will have to mix all the components for a long time so that the slime stops tearing and sticking to your hands.
From shampoo and toothpaste
This recipe is missing one of the popular ingredients - glue. Instead, starch or flour is used as a thickener.
- Squeeze toothpaste into a container, pour in 100 ml of shampoo. Mix all components well until the paste is completely dissolved.
- Then add 200 g of flour, continuing to stir the solution to prevent lumps from forming.
- Then the mixture needs to be lightly sprinkled with water and mixed thoroughly again.
Clear Ninja Slime Recipe
To make the mixture for this slime, combine clear glue, boric acid, hot water, and room temperature water. Mix all the ingredients well. Finally, you can add glitter to make the slime more interesting.
Important! If the mixture has become too thick, you can improve its consistency by adding a little glue. If the toy sticks to your hands, you need to add boric acid.
Helpful Tips for Making Slime
When creating slimes, you can experiment: add dyes, glitter or spices. It is best to mix in a deep container to make it easier to work with. The amount of ingredients should be adjusted depending on the consistency of the toy.
Ninja slime is easy to make at home. The toy will be safe and practically no different from the original. Slimes help develop fine motor skills and creative thinking, so they can be used in classes with children. And the ability to add glitter and dyes allows you to create your own original varieties of ninja slime.
