Make Non Toxic Water Color
non toxic watercolor paint
Tools needed for this project

  • baking soda
  • cornstarch
  • white vinegar
  • light corn syrup (or simply boil one cup sugar and 1/2 cup water until clear)
  • food coloring
Directions:
  • MIX: Combine 3 tablespoons each of the baking soda, cornstarch and vinegar and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of the corn syrup/sugar substitute.
  • Allow the fizzing to subside and mix completely
  • Pour the mixture into container(s) - see options below
  • Add the food coloring to create colors
  • Leave out to harden for three hours.
  • Make sure you add the food coloring right away, as the paint starts to solidify almost immediately
NOTE:
  • To hold paint you can get a paint tray at the arts and crafts store, use a plastic egg carton, or small jars
