Silly Putty is a fun goo that makes less mess and you can do whatever you want with it. Instead of buying some, why not make some yourself?
What do you need to make Silly Putty?
- Food Coloring
- 3/4 cup of glue
- 1/4 cup liquid starch or borax
- Mixing bowl

How do we do it?
**TIP: Once you are done, put the silly putty in a Ziploc bag and seal it airtight, so it stays flexible and soft. When left outside for 2 hours or more, it will harden!**
- Add 1 cup water to the bowl
- Add the glue to the bowl
- Pour 8 drops of food coloring in the bowl
- Mix these together
- Slowly add the liquid starch or borax water mixture. (To make the borax water mixture: Mix the borax with 1 1/3 cups of water, until it dissolves)
