Yesterday the kids made their own watercolors using a few simple ingredients that you probably have around the kitchen. I will say that we will definitely do this again, I would also warn you that it can be pretty messy especially if you leave 4 year olds in charge of the food coloring bottles.INGREDIENTS:
3T Baking Soda
3T Cornstarch
3T White Vinegar
1.5t Light Corn Syrup
Food Coloring
Essentially you just mix all of these things together slowly and you end up with this weird concoction that feels like a solid if you hit it hard, and a liquid if you touch it slowly.
Although you can use the paints immediately, I would recommend leaving them out to dry for a day or so and they seem to work a little better.
