10-8-00Using clear karo or otherwise known as corn syrup add a few tablespoons into plastic Dixie cups then add a few drops of food coloring have child paint with this then add glitter let dry for 24 hours this turns hard and glazed we used this idea to make a valentine.

10-2-00Recipe for Silly Putty In a zip loc bag, place 1 tablespoon Elmer's glue, 1 tablespoon water and 2 drops of food coloring Mix well. In a container mix 1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon Borax. After the glue, water and food coloring have been mixed, add 1 tablespoon of the borax mixture. Close Ziploc and mix well. The result is a very, very close resemblance to the real silly putty.
Date: 4-5-00A creative way to jazz up plain old white glue and make a new way to paint is to add kool-aid packets of various flavors( colors) into approximately 1/4 cup of glue. Mix thoroughly with paint brushes and amazing colors come through. This smells great and when it is dry it is glossy. A wonderful sensory activity
