SILLY PUTTY
Elmers glue, regular
Liquid starch
Food colorings
Pour a medium bottle of Elmers glue into a plastic tub. Add a few drops of the desired food coloring. Slowly add starch, mixing as you pour. As substance begins to get "stringy" stop adding starch. Mix until all the starch is absorbed. Begin adding starch as before until a putty like substance is formed. Putty will begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl. Work putty until it is no longer sticking to your hands. If putty begins sticking to your child's hands, pour a little starch onto their hands and then let them play with it. This can be stored in a lidded plastic container and used several times. The putty can stick to clothing, so have your child wear a smock. If it does become stuck on clothes, just soak in warm water to remove.
