In the 90s. In Russia, a new toy appeared - a lizun. Schoolchildren and adults threw it against the wall with pleasure and watched with fascination as the jelly-like mass slides to the floor. Then the parents re-glued the wallpaper, and the children carried the lizuns to school, where at breaks they irritated teachers and cleaners with their amusements.
Today there are several varieties of these toys. Consider how to play with different kinds of slogans so that everyone is happy and happy.
Slime or slime?
According to some sources, lizun owes his appearance to the child - the 11-year-old daughter of the owners of Mattel, the world-famous toy manufacturer. While at the parents' factory, the girl accidentally mixed several components, including a food thickener (guar gum).
So in 1976 there was a toy called Slime, which in the post-Soviet space was renamed as a lizun due to its resemblance to Slimer - the character of the then popular animated series “Ghostbusters”. Therefore, you can call a toy as you like.
To produce slimes, guar gum is still used, which can be replaced by other polymers, for example, glue, as well as brown and other thickeners.
Consider how to play with a lizun, a toy from modern manufacturers, good, invented varieties for every taste.
Lizun antistress for adults and children
“Remember and calm down” - under this slogan, suppliers of popular toys advertise slimes. These lizunas are designed to be squeezed by hands in a stressful situation, thus relieving emotional stress.
They are released in the most diverse shapes and colors, often in a special mesh. Such lizunas do not stick to your hands; they can be wrinkled and put into a bag. The main thing is not to overdo it, otherwise the slime will burst. It is washed and washed easily, but it will be a pity for the money spent and the lost means to calm the nerves.
Nanogum
Another name for the toy is chewing gum for hands or smart lick. This is a kind of anti-stress slime of a rather rigid structure, which is stretched in all directions, wrinkled and torn to pieces.
If such a lizun hit with all his might with a heavy object, he would shatter. You can still roll a ball out of it and throw it on the floor with force. Slime will bounce like a real ball.
By the way, most anti-stress toys are aromatic and come with the smell of various fruits, vanilla and chocolate. This is one of the reasons why you can’t give a slime to young children who still don’t understand how to play with a lizun and, of course, pull it into their mouths.
"Plasticine" lizun
This is a descendant of those same slimes from the 90s that sticks to smooth surfaces, leaves greasy traces on the wallpaper and clings to itself dust and dirt. These lizuns are available in the form of balls, spiders and other items. They still stick perfectly to walls and ceilings.
Slime Slime
Such slimes are sold in protective containers, because they also quickly get dirty and become unusable. These lizunov are not thrown into the wall. They are looked after, fed and even treated if the "pet" is sick. After opening the container, the slime "lives" usually no more than 2 weeks, and children always spend this time with benefit. How to play with a lizun of this variety a child usually understands without any instructions:
- a lizun can be “watered” with water and “fed” with salt or finely chopped eraser;
- if the slime has become too hard from salt, it is “treated” with water and, conversely, salt is added to the diet if it spreads too much;
- jelly-like slippery mass, children are happy to pour into different containers;
- from a slime you can inflate a bubble using a regular tube;
- It’s very interesting to mix slides of different colors.
There are still magnetic slides that begin to move and stretch if you bring a magnet to them. With all these toys, children do not get bored and often invent their own options for playing with a lizun.
Lizun - "small dirty tricks"
This variety of slimes is also called grubs, and they serve mainly for fun. For example, mucus with frog caviar, spiders or mice. A very bright effect produces a lizun-eye. Hard Halloween joke. When it is squeezed, a very natural-looking eye appears from the hand.
On sale there are whole sets for the manufacture of lizunov in the category "Young chemist". Slimes are also made of materials that are in any home: shaving foam, glue, washing gel, starch and much more.
And, of course, the manufacturers of virtual games could not stay away and created several popular children's shooters "Slogan of the eyes".
Gluttonous slime
These are not just entertainments, but also very informative adventures. One of the games is "Lazul the little eye eaten the Universe." Despite the bloodthirsty name, there is nothing to worry about. The tiny Martian slime that hit the space station in a block of ice began its exciting journey through the universe.
At first he was very small and ate bacteria, viruses, atoms and molecules of various substances. And when he grew up, he was able to absorb drops of water and metal objects, then entire buildings. Very large can eat the planets and stars of the solar system, nebulae and entire universes.
According to the same principle, the game "Slogan the Eloquent Ate Ancient Rome and Japan" was built. Here he needs to find and absorb the Colosseum, and then travel to Ancient Japan to fight Godzilla.
And little gamers play the one-eyed lizun - an Android game that is actually called "Slug takes over the world." The main character resembles the famous Pac-Man. He is the same round, toothy and one-eyed.
This is how the toy from the creators of the famous Barbie has not lost its relevance for more than 40 years.
