So Silly!: Make Your Own Putty

First Grade Construction & Sculpture Activities: So Silly!: Make Your Own Putty

based on 410 ratings

The perfect activity for a rainy day, or any time your little one moans, “Moooo-oom, there’s nothing to do!”

If you use Elmer’s Glue-All (not the school glue), your putty should bounce and transfer pictures just like the store-bought stuff.  Add food coloring or even a few sprinkles of glitter for your own take on the gooey original!

What You Need:

  • White all-purpose glue (not school glue)
  • Sta-Flo liquid starch
  • 1-2 tablespoons Borax powder dissolved in 1 cup water
  • Strong mixing spoon
  • Resealable sandwich bags or other air-tight container
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Glitter (optional)
