Cooking With Kids Thursday: Glow in the Dark Silly Putty

December 27, 2012 by Leave a Comment


Santa brought the kids a trampoline for Christmas, but the below freezing temperatures have kept the kiddos indoors most of the day.  With just over a week left on our Christmas break, I am in desperate need of some indoor activities to keep my kids entertained.  This glow in the dark silly putty just might do the trick!  Not only is it a great cooking experience, but it will also provide hours of fun.  Thanks for the idea Play at Home Mom!

Here’s what you need to make this:

  • Glue
  • Glow in the dark paint… we tried several.  So far glo away by Plaid gave the best glow.
  • Liquid starch

Here’s how to make it -> Glow in the Dark Silly Putty
