As a kid didn’t you love to play with silly putty? It feels all slimy. Watching it pick up images from the paper. We always wound up with the gray nondescript silly putty. It was always such a let down. A vibrant red or cheerful yellow egg and inside was drab gray.
Our kids are lucky enough that we make our own silly putty. Add a few drops of food coloring to make a luscious purple or vivid blue.
Materials
1 small paper cup
Liquid starch
2 oz. white liquid glue
Food coloring (opt.)
Liquid starch
2 oz. white liquid glue
Food coloring (opt.)
Directions
Fill small paper cup 1/2 way full of liquid starch. Add about 2 ounces of white liquid glue. Stir with finger for about 30 seconds. Pour off liquid starch. Use finger to keep working the clump of silly putty. Work until not really wet and messy. Then work in palms until it gets to a good dough texture. Store in a plastic bag.
