Now that I've gotten obsessed with Pinterest, I've been putting many of the things I've found to good use.
I found recipes for homemade silly putty and bouncy balls, and am planning on making those as gifts for Easter this year. Just put inside a plastic easter egg and hand out!
Update: Here's the recipes I used

I was not impressed with the bouncy ball recipe. The balls hardly bounced and they never turned clear.
The silly putty turned out better, the only problem is you can't put too much coloring in otherwise it'll come off on your hands. If the putty sits for a while it also starts to to revert back to a gluey substance, unless it gets played with.
