Making Silly Putty

Making silly putty was a perfect way to talk about counting!  My class helped me count and measure the ingredients.  I mixed the ingredients inside of a plastic storage bag.   Students had a marvelous time playing with the putty.  

Silly Putty Recipe

2 cups white glue

1 cup liquid starch

Mix ingredients together in plastic storage bag.

We will use this putty to practice sight words by carving them into the putty.  This will also be the perfect way to create our own mint when we study money.  Students will use bottle caps and play money in the silly putty.  The putty will be perfect to press shapes during our shape unit.
