Easy to Make Silly Putty
Tuesday, July 14, 2009
Now that my kids are older they are able to find their own entertainment most of the time. Yesterday my 11 year old son wanted to make silly putty so he looked it up online. We had all of the ingredients, so he made some with his 8 year old sister. I had nothing to do with this project. They found the video online, found all of the ingredients, made the putty, and cleaned up the mess. Today they are playing with their silly putty and having lots of fun with it. The best part is that I didn't have to do anything.

Fun post! I remember my silly putty days... :-)
ReplyDeleteVery enterprising children to do this themselves. I used to make my own play dough which is softer and nicer than the bought version.
ReplyDeleteThis would be fun to make. I bet it smells better than the store bought stuff too!
ReplyDeleteI remember making this for my kids when they were small. They had so much fun with it!

This is right up my 10 year olds alley, and she just started her own blog. We'll have to try this and then she can blog about it.
