Looking forward to trying the recipes. Did no one notice this when posting the picture. Thanks so much. Oh and I absolutely love all your ideas, as do my children!

I love this recipe. I use it often in my class. It does fact have borax in the liquid starch though.. It is what causes the polymer reaction. I called the number on the bottle just to ask.

Make sure you have the right measurements!
