Suggested Activity:
Make Silly Putty
1 part Sta Flo liquid starch
food coloring, if desired

Add a couple of drops of food coloring and mix well.

It needs to dry a bit before it is "workable". It may be necessary to add a touch more glue or starch. You will have to experiment. It may not work well on a humid day. Store in an airtight container.  Beware of contact with clothes and carpet while mixing.
