Harrison has been eyeing this kit by the Wild Goose Company in the homeschool store for quite some time. I finally relented and got it for the kids to do this week. We've made silly putty before without buying a kit but I think there is something about having ingredients labeled in a manner that looks like "real" chemicals that makes it seem more serious.
Here is a recipe for making your own silly putty without a kit:
1 parts Elmer's White Glue (not school glue)
1 parts of liquid starch.
** If you use school glue, it won't bounce or pick up images but it's still fun to play with.
I think we will try the homemade one later this week and compare it to the kit's results. We might as well buy the real deal too and see which one bounces highest and which one picks up the best.
