Couldn't find Gak at the store? Me either! Let's make some!
Recipe:

1 cup Elmer's glue
food coloring, your choice of color (optional: coloring can stain!)
1 cup liquid starch

Pour glue and coloring in plastic container.

Stir until color is thoroughly mixed in.

Add starch a little at a time, stirring with a spoon or with your fingers as mixture thickens.

Stir until mixture holds together like putty.

Test it with your fingers and if it's too sticky, add more starch in small amounts until it becomes smooth and rubbery.

Store in a ziplock freezer bag.
