This simply and easy recipe only required three household ingredients but it offered more than an hour of fun. I think the key was the addition of glitter and food colouring- turning this into Frozen Silly Putty.
TAke one bottle of glue and dump it into a bowl.
Add an equal amount of water by filling up the glue bottle and add it to the bowl. If you wish to add colouring or glitter and other decorations, do so at this point and stir well.
We mixed a tsp of borax into 1/4 cup of boiling water to get the borax to dissolve and then added to the bowl. The magic begins almost immediately. It is wet at first…but the more you play with it by stirring or kneading with your hands…the better it becomes. We also broke out our play-dough cutters etc.
Afraid she might try to eat the silly putty, poor Maria had to settle for painting. Luckily she didn’t mind and Mommy finally got to tackle putting away that mountain of laundry from our trip 🙂
