Kids Craft Wednesday – Halloween Playdough


I have to admit,
I’m not a fan of PLAYDOUGH.
BUT, I do understand that kids LOVE it,
and since that’s the case, we’ll probably be making some soon.


If you want to learn how to make these awesome
Playdough Goody Bags,
go on over to check out
Under the Sycamore’s post on Eighteen25.

And, if you want to make something that I actually don’t mind the kids playing with,
here’s a recipe for GAK.
I used to love this stuff, and I hope your kiddos will too. :)


Ingredients:

- 1 cup Elmer’s glue
- food coloring, your choice of color (optional: coloring can stain!)
- 1 cup liquid starch

Directions:


Step 1
Pour glue and coloring in plastic container.
Step 2
Stir until color is thoroughly mixed in.
Step 3
Add starch a little at a time, stirring with a spoon or kneading with your fingers as mixture thickens.
Step 4
Keep stirring until mixture holds together like putty.

* Test with your fingers: if too sticky, add more starch in small amounts until mass is smooth and rubbery.
You can also refrigerate any unused Gak.

ENJOY!
