Liquid starch
2 oz. white liquid glue
Food coloring (opt.)

Fill small paper cup 1/2 way full of liquid starch. Add about 2 ounces of white liquid glue. Stir with finger for about 30 seconds. Pour off liquid starch. Use finger to keep working the clump of silly putty. Work until not really wet and messy. Then work in palms until it gets to a good dough texture. Store in a plastic bag.

CORNSTARCH GOOP

from COOKS.COM

Let's get everyone in on the act. Take them into the kitchen. In a bowl, mix about 1/2 box of cornstarch with enough water so that it feels like clay - not too powdery, not too wet. Now pick up this goop and squeeze it - it's crumbly. Hold it loosely - it oozes through your fingers. Knock on the mixture (inside the bowl) and you will find it feels hard. Put your finger slowly into it and...it is liquid. It's solid one minute, liquid the next. Magic!
