Another Watercolor Paint Recipe

A couple of weeks ago I shared a super easy homemade watercolor recipe with you. I tried a different recipe recently and wanted to share the results with you.

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Baking Soda
3 Tablespoons Cornstarch
3 Tablespoons White Vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons Light Corn Syrup
Liquid Food Coloring
Styrofoam Egg Carton
Bowl
Spoon

1. Mix baking soda, cornstarch, vinegar and corn syrup together in a bowl or measuring cup. The mixture will bubble and fizz which is great fun for the kids to see and hear.

2. When you have it thoroughly mixed divide the mixture into the egg carton cups. (We only used 9 of the cups.)

3. Add 2 or more drops of food coloring to each cup of the egg carton.

4. Mix the food coloring with a spoon until thoroughly mixed.

5. You can now use the paints or allow them to dry.

6. We chose to let the paints dry and it took about two days for them to thoroughly dry.

7. To use the dry paints, wet a paintbrush and get the paint color of your choice wet. You may have to wet your brush a few times to get the paint to be usable. Dip brush in water between each color.

These watercolors work really well and are sure to last for many painting sessions.
