Glurch

Not an edible recipe, but, it is scribbled on a piece of paper, and I need to get it recorded somewhere else so I don't lose it.

1/2 cup liquid starch
3/4 cup glue (ie- elmer's white glue)

Mix the glue into the starch, first in a cup, then finish mixing it in on wax paper. Let sit for 20 mins.

This is fun for kids to play with, and surprisingly not messy. It will stain if you color it and let is sit on a fabric, though. It reminds me of sitting on Grandma Earl's swing and playing with magic sand with Amy. It's not magic sand, but it has that same fascination for children. It's solid with pressure (squeezing it) but turns liquid.

Really, it is an easy clean-up.
