Not sure about that, I have made own by mixing pva glue and water works quiet well.

I know flour and water will set hard but not sure if it woulnt go moudly?

Good luck, hope its really messy !

Thought you could use any cold water paste, as long as it does not contain fungicide as wall paper paste does :o

where would i find cold water paste? I wanted it a bit thicker than watered down PVA, let the kids really get their hands into it. I guess the flour might go mouldy-wonder how long before it does though?

I see a science project coming on here... :D

 

I get non-fungicidal paste from Hope, preschool suppliers.
