Homemade Natural Finger Paints
These easy, homemade finger paints are made with all-natural ingredients and are safe to eat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic corn starch
- 2 cups water divided
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 Tbs gelatin
- Natural food coloring
Instructions
- In a small sauce pan, add 1/2 the amount of water and stir in gelatin. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the other 1/2 of the water with cornstarch until dissolved.
- Put the saucepan with the gelatin water over medium low heat until it begins to simmer.
- Stir in cornstarch mixture and salt and bring back to simmer and allow mixture to thicken. Whisk mixture until smooth.
- Turn off heat and pour liquid into separate containers.
- Add a few drops of food coloring into each jar until you get desired color. Mix colors. Remember your elementary school days... red+blue = purple, yellow+red = orange, yellow+blue = green, and so on.
