Homemade Silly Putty
1 c White glue (Elmer's)
1 c Liquid starch
Food coloring
Put glue and coloring in plastic container. Add starch a little at a time, stirring constantly. Keep stirring until mixture holds together like putty. Test with your fingers, if too sticky, add more starch in small amounts until mass is smooth and rubbery. Have fun pulling, stretching, bouncing and taking transfers off of the Sunday comics, etc. Store in a plastic bag or airtight container.
Silly Putty
2 c White all-purpose glue
1 c Liquid starch

Mix together well. Set on trays for play, or use waxed paper. Can be used as the commercial Silly Putty is. Store in an airtight container.
Substitute Silly Putty
1/2 c Elmer's glue
1/2 c Starch -- liquid

Do NOT substitute any other glue for Elmer's glue! Slowly add starch to glue and knead with fingers. The more you work with it the better it jells. Add food coloring if you want.
