Silly putty was invented by accident during World War II, when American scientists were trying to create synthetic rubber. Now almost everyone is familiar with the amusing goo found in a plastic egg. It bounces, flows like a liquid (albeit slowly), stretches, and is sticky (so it’ll pick up pet hair, whether you intend it for that purpose or not). For some easy fun with kids, try these simple recipes to create your own home-made silly putty and see which one comes closest to the real thing!
