Easy-to-Make Finger Paint

Ingredients

4 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons liquid dish soap
Containers
Food coloring*

* (You can use liquid watercolors, too, but I’ve had better luck getting vibrant colors with paste food colors.)

Instructions

1. Stir the sugar and cornstarch together in a small saucepan.
2. Add 2 cups of water and stir over medium heat until the mixture thickens.
3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Stir in dish soap.
5. Divide into containers and add food coloring as desired.
6. DO NOT cool in refrigerator!
