The article will tell you how to make a glowing slime at home. In order to make the toy original, you can use a variety of additional substances, thanks to which interesting effects will be obtained. A fluorescent marker can be used as such an element.

Required Materials

For a slime that will glow in the dark, you will need:

1. Rubber gloves.
2. Stirrer.
3. The container that will contain the future slime.
4. Fluorescent marker.
5. Ordinary stationery glue.
6. Sodium tetraborate. You can take borax or borax.

Progress of work

1. Initially, you need to extract the middle from the luminous marker. To do this, you need to disassemble it, and immerse the luminous element in a prepared container with water and wait until it is completely stained.
2. Place stationery glue into the resulting solution.
3. Further pour in the choice of the above chemicals and everything carefullymix.
4. After a short period of time, when the solution thickens, using gloves, take the substance in your hands and mash it. The glowing slime is ready!

Creating glow effects

To get the glowing effect, you need to use a flashlight with an ultraviolet glow. If you roll the slime into a pancake shape, create dark conditions and turn on the flashlight, you can see how ultraviolet light leaves lines on the surface. In this way, you can create a variety of luminous patterns and elements.

Luminous slime imprint

Using a printer, print the picture you like on thin paper. We tightly apply the sheet to the rolled pancake from the slime and illuminate it with bright light. We wait a few seconds. After the sheet is removed, an imprint in the form of the selected pattern will remain on the slime. The event is held in complete darkness. The effect does not last long, but it will leave in the memory of the baby an unforgettable experience and delight from magic.

All family members can be involved in the game. Do-it-yourself glowing slime will be much cheaper than the store version and will leave a lot of impressions for everyone. If there is no time to create or you cannot find the necessary components at hand, then you can use store options.

Luminous Slime Pack

You can buy such a set not only in children's toy stores, but also in various online stores. As a rule, such sets are intended for children older thaneight years old. In the kit you will find the same substances as described above: sodium tetraborate powder, polyvinyl alcohol, phosphor, glycerin, two plastic cups (measuring and color), measuring spoon, stirring stick and instructions. Additionally, you will need to purchase a glass jar with a volume of half a liter.

A child should not be allowed to conduct an experiment without the participation of adults. The glow-in-the-dark slime will help the young chemist get a lot of impressions from the resulting mass, with which he can play a lot of fun.

Most kits include enough chemicals to make three slimes. By combining them together, you can get a huge luminous ball. Its weight reaches almost half a kilogram.

The finished substance sticks beautifully to everything it hits, leaves no mess, and takes on whatever shape it is placed in.
