How about I show you how to make homemade glue for kids?
Children often want to do crafts or manual activities...
They love to stick things together and empty entire tubes of glue for hours.
So why not make a 100% natural edible glue yourself?
A kindergarten teacher gave me her quick, super easy and completely natural recipe.
In addition, you probably already have all the ingredients for this glue in your cupboards.
Here is the incredible recipe for edible glue that your children will love. Watch:
- 60 g cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon of white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 500ml of water
- 1 tablespoon
- 1 teaspoon
- 1 bowl
- 1 jar that closes
1. Pour 100 ml of water into a bowl.
2. Add the cornstarch.
3. Mix.
4. Pour the rest of the water into the pan.
5. Boil the water.
6. Add vinegar and salt.
7. Mix until the salt is dissolved.
8. Add the cornstarch and mix.
9. Stir continuously over low heat to avoid lumps.
10. Continue until the mixture thickens and looks like gelatin.
11. Remove the glue from the heat.
12. Pour it into the jars.
13. Close the jars while still hot as if they were jam.
There you go, you have made your homemade edible glue :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
No need to buy Cleopatra glue!
And at the price, it's unbeatable! It is the most economical glue on the market.
Your homemade glue is great for all crafts and gluing.
This children's glue is thick enough to apply with your fingers.
But you can absolutely use a brush.
The glue may become too thick when used over a long period of time.
If it gets too firm, add a little water to dilute it.
You will find a less thick texture.
Some commercial glues are not at all suitable for children.
They indeed contain solvents... Which is toxic for the little ones.
With this homemade glue, there's nothing to worry about.
This glue with its 100% natural ingredients is safe for children.
Children can touch it without any problem.
Even if by accident they put it in their mouth...
There is no risk to their health.
I insist on this essential point for me.
The advantage with this DIY glue is that it is non-toxic.
And when doing activities with kindergartners, it's super important.
Same with babies of 1 or 2 years old...
It's an edible glue, if not tasty!
And with commercial glues, hello stains!
They are difficult to remove from clothing or surfaces.
This homemade glue is soluble.
And that means:no permanent stains on clothes!
A glue that is safe for health...
A glue that, like finger paint, can be easily applied with a finger or a brush...
A glue that adheres well...
A glue that you can easily make yourself with a few simple ingredients.
It's the ideal glue for manual activities with children, isn't it?
Another advantage of this glue with cornstarch is that it keeps.
Stored in the fridge, you can keep it for up to 3 months.
But in general, the children finish it before!
Cornstarch forms a compact material at first.
But we must not stop stirring. And the paste turns into a milky, fluid liquid.
In my opinion, the hardest part of this recipe is avoiding lumps.
For that, I advise you to first mix the starch in a little cold water.
After you can pour the mixture into hot water.
Put the glue in small jars.
That way you always have a jar on hand. And pots in reserve.
It avoids waste.
