Pour water into the measuring cup and let kids measure how much 1/4 of a cup is. Then pour water into on cup and mark the water line. Do the same to the other cup. Pour out water. Then pour glue to the line of one cup, and liquid starch to the other. Open plastic baggie and pour both ingredients in the bag. Close the plastic bag. Knead the mixture. At first mixture will be stringy, knead until you see the mixture looks solid.(add more starch if to stringy (after 10 minutes)add more glue if liquid appears. It looks disgusting but the kids will love it. (Don't work into clothing, fabric.Make sure a parents washes off excess starch, Do not eat.) You can make the glarch different colors by adding a tad of food dye. Green is a favorite of many kids!
