How To Make Silly Putty

Just like many other things, Silly Putty was also discovered out of the blue. It was in the 1943 when James Wright discovered this interesting thing accidentally. It happened when out of curiosity he mixed the silicon oil and boric acid which then reacted and formed into a gummy substance which later on became an entertaining and exciting material to play. It can be stretched, dropped and molded into whatever thing you wish to.

In making Silly Putty you need:
  • -liquid starch
  • -white glue
  • -mixing bowl
  • -storage bag or container with covering
  • -stirring utensils

How to Prepare
      • First, you have to determine how much silly putty you want to form according to what you desired.
      • Use two parts of the white glue for every one part of the liquid starch. For instance, use two cups of glue for every one cup of the liquid starch. The ratio of the ingredients is 2:1
      • Pour two parts of the glue and one part of liquid starch in the bowl and mix it thoroughly, making sure that the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
      • If the mixture is too sticky, add extra liquid starch, however if the mixture is not yet sticky enough, add more glue.
      • Mix the mixture thoroughly again.
      • You can use/play the silly putty right away or you can store it in a container with tight covering and play with it whenever you want.


If you want colorful silly putty, here’s how to make it

Materials needed
  • -food coloring
  • -glue
  • -water
  • -borax
  • -mixing bowls
  • -spoon
  • -measuring cup
  • -storage bags/ container with tight covering

      • Pour the desired amount of glue into the mixing bowl.
      • Put enough warm water to the empty glue bottle. Shake it for a couple of seconds and pour into the mixing bowl with glue.
      • Mix the mixture thoroughly so that the water and the glue will blend together perfectly.
      • Put several drops of food coloring to the mixture and stir it well so that the color spreads all throughout.
      • Pour one half cup of warm water into another mixing bowl. Dust a tsp of borax on the surface of the water and mix thoroughly.
      • Put together the two mixtures (glue/water mixture and water/borax mixture). You have to stir continuously while pouring the second mixture to the first mixture so it will blend all together.
      • You can start mixing it with your hands, after you’ve poured half of the second mixture.
      • Pour the second mixture continuously while mixing it.
      • Mix until you attain your preferred consistency.
      • After you achieved the desired consistency, you can now play with it or you can it store up in a container with tight covering. When you are ready to use, you can just get it. Make sure that the container is properly closed so that it will preserve its consistency.   


Making silly putty at home with kids is safe and very exciting! It is a good activity for both adult and children.
