Funny PuttyYou may remember something like this from when you were a kid -- the floppy goo with almost magical properties. You could bounce it, knead it, and even make an imprint of your favorite Sunday comic strip! Here's how to make your own funny putty at home.
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon liquid starch (found in the laundry aisle)
Food coloring
2 tablespoons white glue
Plastic Easter egg or zip bagDirections:
1. Mix white glue and food coloring together in a glass bowl.
2. Pour liquid starch into a second glass bowl. Slowly pour the glue mixture on top of the the liquid starch.
3. Allow the the concoction to stand for 5 minutes, or until the glue absorbs the liquid starch.
4. Remove putty from bowl and knead. (At first the mixture may look as if it's a mistake -- but it isn't. The more you knead the putty, the better the consistency will be.)
5. Store funny putty in the plastic Easter egg or a zip bag.
Ideas: Press funny putty down on newspaper comics or pictures printed with an ink jet pritner. Slowly pull the funny putty off of the paper: the picture will transfer magaically onto the putty. You can also roll your funny putty into a ball and bounce it!
