What’s colorful, creative, messy (but not too messy) and fun for everyone?

It’s one of the few DIY projects that little ones can be a part of from (nearly) start to finish.

You will need:
3 parts water (3 cups)
1 part cornflour (1 cup)
natural food coloring
saucepan

Bring the water to boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Dissolve cornflour in a little cold water and add to hot water, stirring constantly. Boil until clear and thick (about one minute). To make fingerpaint, add desired food coloring. This mixture will be very smooth. A tablespoon of glycerine may be added to make it glossy. A ½ cup of Lux soap flakes may be added to give fingerpaint a lumpy texture. Store in refrigerator as it spoils in hot weather.
