Preparation

Collect all the necessary ingredients. If doing it with several children, it’s helpful to have small cups for measuring with a pre-marked line indicating the right amount. Playdough containers work well for this purpose. Consider putting some lens solution in a spray bottle to use on hands if they become a bit sticky during the activity.

Let’s Do It

1. Measure Glue:
   Measure out ¼ cup of glue in a measuring cup or container and then transfer it to the mixing container or bowl.

2. Add Ingredients:
   Add 1 tsp of water, ⅛ tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of lens solution, a drop or two of food coloring, and some glitter to the glue.

3. Stir:
   Use a spoon to stir the mixture until it forms a glob or blob. If it’s still very sticky, add a little more lens solution, but be cautious not to add too much, as it may become rubbery.

4. Hands:
   When it’s still slightly sticky, put some lens solution on your fingers and start kneading the mixture until it reaches a desirable consistency. If it doesn’t feel too sticky, pick it up and start playing.
