I've never made this but always wanted to but it was never in any of my daycares budget or i wasn't working with school agers.
We used to make this type of putty with powdered borax. A box was about $6 and lasted most of the year. The hard part was finding the Borax, not all grocery stores seemed to carry it.
I bought my borax at walmart..I think I have some in the basement but no white glue..I would love it..forget the kids!!
