Peculiar Putty

I remember making this one year. It really was peculiar! If I recall, it was similar to Silly Putty, but more fluid… I think… it’s been over 10 years since I made it. I don’t even remember where the recipe came from.

• 1 cup white school glue
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tsp Borax
• 1/2 cup water

You will need two bowls.

1. Stir together, in one of the bowls, the white glue and about 3/4 cup of water.
2. In the second bowl, stir 1/2 cup water and Borax together.
3. Stir the Borax mixture into the glue mixture. Continue to stir until all the glue mixture is absorbed. This will take several minutes.
4. Allow the mixture to stand for an hour or so and it’s ready to play with. Pull on it, flatten it, roll it into a ball and bounce it!
