Session 2: Creative Development
Funny Putty
Ingredients
- 15 mL (1 tablespoon) liquid starch
- food colouring
- 30 mL (2 tablespoons) white glue
- plastic Easter egg or zipper-lock bag
Instructions
- Mix white glue and food colouring together in a small bowl.
- Pour liquid starch into a second small bowl. Slowly pour the glue mixture on top of the liquid starch.
- Allow the mixture to stand for five minutes or until the glue absorbs the liquid starch.
- Remove the putty from the bowl and knead the putty. (Note: At first this mixture may look as if it hasn’t worked, but hang in there. The more you knead the putty, the better it will be.)
- Store the putty in a plastic Easter egg or in a zipper-lock bag.
Tips and Ideas
- Press the putty down on newspaper comics or pictures printed with an ink-jet printer. Slowly pull the putty off the paper. The picture will magically transfer onto the putty.
- Roll your putty into a ball and bounce it.
