  • 3 drops Food coloring (optional)
  • pinch of Sodium Benzoate to retard mold(optional)
  • Plastic Eaaster egg or small screew top jar.

  3. IF MATERIAL IS TO BE USED WITH YOUNG CHILDREN!
  4. Makes About 3 Tablespoonsful.
  5. 1. Measure starch into a small bowl.
  6. 1a. Add glue.
  7. 1b. Let set five minutes.
  8. 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.
  9. 3. Store in a plastic Easter egg or small jar.
  10. *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.
