Tried and True Glue

This is the old standby paste - very sticky - that is absolutely safe for children to make and use.

Equipment

3 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons cold water
2 cups boiling water
Squeeze-type container

Mix the cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl and then pour the paste into the boiling water, stirring constantly. When liquid is clear and thick, remove from heat and let cool. Pour into a plastic squeeze container and label.
