SILLY DOUGH
This putty is unusual because it is elastic, stretchy, moldable and can be bounced on the floor like a ball. Have fun!
MATERIALS:
Liquid Starch
White school glue
Food coloring
Measuring spoons
Small bowl
Mixing spoon
Airtight container
PREPARE:
- Mix together 4 Tb. Liquid starch, 8 Tb. Glue and 1/4 tsp. food coloring in small bowl.
- Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Knead the mixture by hand until the starch is completely dissolved and the color is even.
PLAY AND ENJOY:
- Stretch and mold the Silly Dough. The more it is kneaded and played with, the better it gets!
- Bounce it against the floor for fun - the rounder the shape, the straighter the bounce. Odd shapes bounce in odd directions!
- Blow bubbles into it with tubing or straws.
- Press the dough onto the Sunday Comics and peel off to see the image.
- If the dough dries, dip it into warm water and re-knead.
