I just found this fingerpaint recipe, and thought I would share:
Ingredients:
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 Tablespoon sugar
1 cup cold water
Food coloring
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 Tablespoon sugar
1 cup cold water
Food coloring
What to Do:
Put the cornstarch, salt, sugar, and water into a pot.
Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
The mixture will start thin, but eventually thicken.
The mixture will start thin, but eventually thicken.
When it does, take the pot off of the stove and let the mixture cool off.
Once it's cool, divide it into small containers
Once it's cool, divide it into small containers
(small jars or leftover yogurt containers work well)
and add a few drops of food coloring to each.
Doesn't this sounds easy to do? and very affordable too :)
I wonder if ants would be attracted to this paint. We live in Costa Rica and tiny little black ants love to invade our homes!
