- Language: en

## Ingredients

- box food coloring
- tub corn starch
- tube silicone

## Instructions

1. Grab some of the food coloring and squirt a generous amount into one of the bowls
2. Carefully squeeze a big blob of the silicone caulking directly into the food coloring
3. Use something like a popsicle stick to slowly fold the silicone and food coloring together
4. Drop the blob into a big bowl of corn starch, then generously coat the outside with powder
5. Put on a pair of disposable gloves
6. Flatten the silicone blob down into the corn starch, then flip it over a few times, kneading it into different shapes, and repeating the process about 10 to 15 times
7. You can mold it, squish it, or press it into whatever shape you want.

## Equipment

- disposable paper bowls
- popsicle stick
- disposable gloves
- stackable plastic bricks

## Tips

- double check your tube is marked 100% silicone just to be sure
- more food coloring used makes the richer your proto-putty color will become
- don't mix silicone and food coloring too quickly or it might splash out and stain your clothes
- if any part of the silicone starts feeling sticky again, just coat it with more corn starch and repeat the process until it loses all of its tackiness
