It snowed all day yesterday, we got about 4-6 inches…not bad really…perfect for staying inside and doing artsy crafty things. So, I made this finger paint and the kiddos got busy 🙂
finished paint, not yet colored
after stirring in food coloring...the one up in the corner that looks black is actually purple
Ingredients
2/3 cup of cornstarch
6 Tbsp. white sugar
4 cups hot water
food coloring
- Mix everything except the food color up in a big saucepan.
- Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Divide the mixture into separate cups/containers. Tint each with a different color of food coloring. Stir several times until cooled.
- PAINT! 😀
