This non-toxic paint is easy to make and a fun way to be creative at home.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup corn starch
4 cups water, boiling
food coloring
Directions:
Dissolve the corn starch in a small amount of cold water in a saucepan. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring. Cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is clear. Add the coloring.
What you will need: salt, food coloring, water, paintbrush and paper.
Mix together salt, water and coloring to make your salt paint. Have child paint and leave the paper to dry. The water will dry and leave the salt behind. Ask your child, “What does the painting look like without the water?”
Afterwards, I thought it would be a great activity to do for a winter scene because it looks icy when it is dry.
Learning moment: Salt absorbs water, like in the ocean. The salt is attracted to water.
