## Abstract

The present invention provides an improved non-Newtonian play material consisting essentially of a play slime material combined with a non-soluble fiber additive. The malleable material may adapted as any known malleable play material including binder, filler, fluid and a filler setting inhibitor. The non-soluble fiber may be a coarse or fine, long or short, polyester, silk or other similar or equivalent material. The fibers may be of different colors. The fibers may be of different textures or a combination of textures. The fibers may be incorporated in various amounts. The ratio of non-Newtonian fluid to fiber rations may be between about 2:1 to about 50:1 by weight. The use of one or more than one different color of fiber may be utilized. The resulting play material compound may be utilized in hand molding or manipulation in which substantial enjoyment and amusement is provided in the handling of the play material.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A play material comprising:
a non-Newtonian fluid; in combination with
a fibrous solids incorporated within the non-Newtonian fluid;
wherein said fibrous solid comprises a material selected from a group consisting of: polyester; polystyrene; and silk.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The play material of claim 1, wherein said combination has a selected characteristic selected from a group consisting of: flow, visual appearance, texture, color; and elasticity.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The play material of claim 2, wherein said selected characteristic is the creation of a slime material with an appearance selected from a group consisting of: a textured; and a furry appearance.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The play material of claim 1, wherein said fibrous solids comprise a physical characteristic selected from a group consisting of: similar fiber lengths; variable fiber lengths; similar fiber thicknesses; variable fiber thicknesses; fibers having a single color; and a combination of fibers having more than one color.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The play material of claim 1 comprising:
approximately 50 to approximately 98 percent of a total by weight of the non-Newtonian fluid; and
approximately 50 to approximately 2 percent of a total by weight of the fibrous solids.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The play material of claim 1, further comprising one or more colorant or fragrance materials.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The play material of claim 5, further comprising one or more colorant or fragrance materials.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The play material of claim 1, further comprising:
Water at a concentration of about 82.71% by weight;
Polyvinyl alcohol at a concentration of about 7.83% by weight;
Phenoxyol at a concentration of about 0.7% by weight;
Glycerol at a concentration of about 5.7% by weight;

fibers at about 1% by weight; and
a pigment at a concentration of about 1.5% by weight, wherein all percents by weight are based on the total weight of the play materials.

### Claim 9

A novelty play material comprising:
a non-Newtonian fluid; in combination with
a fibrous solids incorporated within the non-Newtonian fluid; wherein said fibrous solid comprises a material selected from a group consisting of: polyester; and silk;
a colorant, said colorant selected from a combination of a group consisting of: a red colorant; a yellow colorant; and a blue colorant;
said material comprises a physical characteristic selected from a group consisting of: similar fiber lengths; variable fiber lengths; similar fiber thicknesses; variable fiber thicknesses; fibers having a single color; and a combination of fibers having more than one color.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The novelty play material of claim 9, comprising:
approximately 50 to approximately 98 percent by weight of the non-Newtonian fluid; and
approximately 50 to approximately 2 percent by weight of the fibrous solids.
