As a kid I remember spending hours playing with
Silly Putty. Decided to make my own since there isn’t any such thing as a “local”
toy store near me and wasn’t about to order it on-line.
Directions: To 2 tablespoons cornstarch add 1 ½ tablespoons dish soap. Found it needed more cornstarch. This video is a good one to watch
Had a lot of fun just molding it my
hands-sort of like a stress release ball. Cleaned my computer keyboard with
it-gets out all the dirt that’s stuck between keys. I kept it on a piece of
paper next to my computer not only to play with it, but to see how long it
would last. Turns out it was a fun play toy on and off for a day but did hardened
over night. Since I had left a thumb print in the middle of it, I wondered if
it could be used as a mold.
Not really as it breaks quite easily.
No problem though as it quickly dissolves with water and washes away.
The idea of clay and making molds
lead to a really cool way of making molds with what I think of as silicone
caulking. There are easy directions at Instructables but if you prefer a video, this one works pretty well.

Break Pinterest Board.
