Servings: 1
Calories: 600kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup yogurt
- food coloring as needed
- 1 cup cornstarch
Instructions
- Pour the yogurt into a medium bowl and stir in a few drops of food coloring. (To create white silly putty, skip this step.)
- Add the cornstarch a little bit at a time, stirring it in with a spoon until well combined with the yogurt.
- Knead the mixture with your hands until the putty is stretchy and smooth, and you are fully satisfied with the texture. If it feels sticky, add a bit more cornstarch; if it feels too dry, add a bit more yogurt (or a small amount of water).

Notes
1. Storage instructions: If still usable after play, store the silly putty in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, making sure to keep it clean and to check for signs of spoilage before using.
2. Helpful tips:
- Play with the texture: The type of yogurt used will impact the texture of the slime—achieve the perfect consistency by tweaking the quantities of yogurt and cornstarch, or by adding a small amount of water.
- Add extra coloring: To achieve a vibrant color, stir a few extra drops of coloring into the yogurt, as the color will dull once the cornstarch is added.
