Sparkly Silly Putty

This sparkly silly putty is an amazing recipe that will be sure to engage, delight and indulge the most inquisitive minds! It’s a FUN mix of science and play, with a little LOVE thrown in the mix! Perfect to help celebrate Valentine’s Day.

We used the same recipe as used for our Frozen Silly Putty found here –

To make your own you will need:

1 bottle of Clear School Glue (147ml)
The same amount of water (147 ml)
1/2 teaspoon of Borax (I bought mine from my local hardware store in the cleaning section for $8)
1/2 cup hot water
A few sprinkles of silver glitter
love heart sequins for extra bling

Step 1

Pour your glue into a bowl

Step 2

Fill the same bottle with water and add to the glue

Step 3

Stir until well combined

Step 4

Add a few sprinkles of the glitter & sequins & give it another good stir

Step 5

In a separate cup, add 1/2 cup of hot water

Step 6

Add 1/2 a teaspoon of the Borax to the water and stir until dissolved

Step 7

Pour this solution into your original bowl with the glue and water

Step 8

This is the best part! Stir and watch the magic happen! Doesn’t it look cool! It may take you a few minutes to make sure it’s all combined properly

Step 9

Enjoy this fun, sensory activity!

We think this would make a great Valentine’s Day activity OR just a fun and sparkly activity to brighten your child’s day. Sensory play and exploration at it’s best.
