Color Changing Silly Putty
Color Changing Silly Putty Recipe is fun to make and a blast to play with. The kids will love to learn how to make silly putty that changes color.
Yield: 1
Equipment
- 1 Cup Sta-Flo Liquid Starch - You find this in the laundry section at most stores.
- 1 Cup Gallon of Glue
- 1 Tsp Thermochromic Color Changing Powder Pigment
Instructions
- First, pour approximately 1 cup of the glue into a mixing bowl.
- Next, mix in 1 tsp of the thermochromic color changing powder pigment. Be careful as this is easy to spill as it's a fine powder.
- Pour 1 cup of Sta-Flo into the mixing bowl. Let this mixture set for at least 5 minutes as the glue has to soak up the Sta-Flo Liquid Starch.
- Now it is time to mix the 2 ingredients together as best as possible. The mixture will look stringy and not well combined. You will probably think its ruined but this is normal and part of the process. Don't worry!
- Finally, put the mixture on a paper towel or your countertop if it's a solid surface. Again, let this combination set for at least 5 minutes.
- After this time, mix again with your hands and work the glue/starch mixture until the silly putty is formed.
Notes
The silly putty will change color with coldness or warmth. We like to use ice cubes to change the color and then use the warmth of our hands to change it back since it is heat sensitive.
This is so fun!
