Talk with students about how we don't want "rotten bananas" in fruit salad, just like "rotten bananas" aren't good in a classroom family

Materials:

• Two Cups glue

Directions:

• Mix the ingredients and stir well. If the mixture sticks to your fingers, add more liquid starch. If it is not sticking to itself, add more glue. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
