Therapy Putty

4 oz. Elmer's school glue

1/4 c. cornstarch

1/4 t. borax

1/4 c. very hot water

2-5 drops food color, optional

1-3 drops essential oil, optional

Empty entire bottle of glue into a bowl. Add cornstarch and stir thoroughly. Add food color and oil if using and mix again. In a separate bowl, mix very hot water and borax until dissolved. Add it to the glue mixture and stir again until it becomes more solid. With the putty still in the bowl, knead it with your hands until its no longer sticky. Remove all excess water from the putty and bowl. Store in an airtight container.

*Therapy putty is great for stretching and strengthening the muscles in your hands and fingers.
