About this deal
In less than a minute, you will have satisfying DIY silly putty that will keep your kids happily entertained for quite a while.
Whether you prefer the nostalgia of the old school original Silly Putty egg or our updated offerings, such as the glow-in-the-dark or glitter formulas, we’ve got an egg fit for everyone! I did the recipe as 2 parts hand soap and 1 part flour instead and it worked out well, just took a minute of messing with it and adding a tiny bit more flour. Silly Putty's unusual flow characteristics are due to the ingredient polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a viscoelastic substance. The cornstarch keeps the putty from sticking to your fingers, but the texture will be a bit doughy rather than rubbery.Whether you need to fix, build, create or learn, eHow gives you practical solutions to the problems life throws at you.
We used Method Gel Hand Soap for the silly putty in these photos, and I’ve also used Target brand strawberry shampoo with good results.

You can use cornstarch and water, along with glue to make the putty, but adding vinegar to your solution would cause the putty to become too watery. Back before the days of Pinterest, my mom had a big book of science experiments that I would pore over trying to decide which ones looked the most fun and exciting. This homemade silly putty recipe is not one that you save to play with again, as it does begin to dry out after an hour or so.
