DIY Silly Putty


Need something to do that's different while your kids are home? How about a kind of science experiment? Homemade Silly Putty! I say a science experiment because I had to make this with my son for something special in his STEM class and it takes a few times before you actually get silly putty lol

What you need:

1t Borax
4oz Bottle of (washable) Classic Glitter Glue
Water, equivalent to the amount of glue you are using

Instructions:

Mix together a 1 to 1 mixture of glue and water. Stir the glue and water together until completely mixed. Dissolve 1t of borax into 4oz of warm water. Pour borax mixture into the water and glue mixture and stir. Keep stirring, after a few seconds the mixture should “gel” up.

You now have silly putty! If you find it becoming stiff, put it in the microwave and heat it up for 5-15 seconds. Store in a zip-loc bag.
