How to Make Silly PuttyMaterials Needed:
A bottle of Elmer’s white glue
Powdered Borax
Water
Food coloring of your choice
A measuring cup
Empty Soda Bottle
A plastic zip-lock bag
Powdered Borax
Water
Food coloring of your choice
A measuring cup
Empty Soda Bottle
A plastic zip-lock bag
How to Put It All Together:
First, mix one tablespoon of Borax powder and one cup of water in the empty soda bottle.
Replace the cap and shake the mixture until the Borax has dissolved completely.
Now place one tablespoon of Elmer’s glue in the plastic bag along with one teaspoon of plain water.
At this point you can add a drop of food coloring to make your creation more colorful.
Next, add just one tablespoon of the Borax mixture to the bag and seal it.
Now massage the mixture for a few minutes until it begins to set up.
It will gradually take on a putty-like texture as the polymer chains grow and interconnect.
When you are able to remove the putty from the bag in one piece, do so and begin rolling it between your fingers.
The more you roll it the more similar it will be to silly putty.

(2) One the top is off, you'll see four to six sections. With your knife point, score the skin at each section.

(4)Over a bowl of water, use your fingers to loosen the 'arils' (the flesh covered seeds) and drop them into the bowl. The arils will sink to the bottom.
