Emmanuel, NJ | Funny Putty
I made 3 batches and it was more than 5 feet.

Adriana, CA | Funny Putty
me and my friend both love science and thought which was more fun. my results were 5 feet long it was as long as my sister . we thought that when we stretched and stretch the blob the thinner it became and made it unstudier.

Meagyn, OH | Funny Putty
I got my putty to reach 6 feet. I also added 1 more teaspoon of borax which made the putty easier to stretch and also made it be able to bounce. Also, i tried adding more glue and less water. This made the putty reach 6feet 10 inches but it was gooier and less durable. It stuck to my hands.

Lola, Jessica, and Gabrielle, FL | Funny Putty

Duncan and Connor, TX | Funny Putty Special Trick
Dear Dragon Fly TV,
I have a magic trick with Funny Putty I'd like to show you. I was hoping you'd put me on this week's Do It. First, you make some Funny Putty, then you stretch it. Then you slap it onto a newspaper, lift it up. You'll see the newspaper print. Then you put it in front a mirror, and you'll be able to read the print. (It doesn't work on color pictures though.

Garrett, KS | Funny Putty
My funny putty stretched out to 27 feet long. My dad had to get out the tape measure to help me measure it.

we also saw a difference if we added the glue to the borax mixture first, versus adding the borax mixture to the glue

My silly putty stretched two feet two inches before it snapped. I used Tide liquid detergent instead of borax. My silly putty worked really well and it is a pretty shade of blue!
