Homemade Silly Putty


I got this one from my favorite blog for playtime and learning activities. The consistency is kind of different than real silly putty but it is SO FUN to play with, squeeze, stretch, and hide things in (it's fun for adults too; Doug and I spent an hour mixing/playing with it last night while we were making it for Jacob). The recipe is here. I found the proportions were a bit off though. I used much more liquid starch than the recipe asked for. If the mixture is too runny/sticky add more liquid starch.


Hiding marbles



As you can see when the "silly putty" rests for awhile it gets more runny and when you knead it it becomes more solid. Jacob had a glorious time :)
