Assalamualaikum kids,
Schooling here is so much fun. the kids enjoying all the art and craft while learning. Having to do lots of arts and crafts means that we will need a lots of glue. Therefore, ummi decided to make our own glue from tapioca starch. Ummi still remember Tok Mak used to make home made glue for me when I was very young. Now we will make our own. Today, you kids are enjoying making your own glue, :)
These are the recipes:
1 Pour water into the sauce pan and bring the water to a boil. You will require approximately twice as much boiling water as tapioca starch in your glue. 2 Combine equal parts tapioca starch and room temperature water in a bowl.
3 Stir the mixture together until the starch and water form a smooth, even mixture. The mixture will be liquid, not gluelike, and slightly milky in color.
4 Remove the boiling water from the stove and slowly pour the water into the bowl to avoid splashing. Do not pour the entire boiling pot in at once -- pour approximately one-quarter of the remaining contents of the pan each time you pour.
5 Stir the contents of the bowl after each pouring. The boiling water will cause the paste to thicken as you stir.
6 Continue adding a portion of the boiling water, then stirring, until your mixture has taken on a pastelike consistency.
Enjoy yourselves kids!!!!
