- 1. Measure starch into a small bowl.
- 1a. Add glue.
- 1b. Let set five minutes.
- 2. If desired, add coloring and Sodium Benzoate. Then mix thoroughly until all starch is absorbed and color is spread smoothly throughout. The more you mix the putty, the better it gets.
- 3. Store in a plastic Easter egg or small jar.
- *Makes rubbery putty that will bounce, pick up pictures from the newspaper, strech, and mold into shapes. If left in the open air, it will melt into a rubbery blob and turn hard. If a tougher, more rubbery putty is desired, add one more teaspoon of starch. Soft putty should set overnight before being used to pick up pictures. Will last several days.
