Edible Water Colors

Make Non Toxic Water Color

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
