It was rainy outside all day today. So we painted with watercolors. Will LOVES to paint. I stayed really close to him the entire time and he (thankfully) kept the paint on the paper/table/himself.The recipe for the paint was incredibly easy and non-toxic. Good thing too, cause of course the first thing Will did was taste it!
The fizzing action of this paint is awesome - every little boy (& probably girl) will think it's the coolest thing ever :)
Non-toxic Watercolor Paint
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons corn syrup
3 tablespoons baking soda
3 tablespoons vinegar
small containers & food coloring
We made four different colors: blue, yellow, orange, and green. Although after Will got tired of painting he combined colors all into one very green color. We hung the pictures up in the window to dry. Aren't they so festive & spring?
Wow, this is a great recipe! Thanks for sharing it! I can't wait to paint with my boys. :)
