Toddler Art: homemade mess - er, paint!

Edible?  YES!
Tasty?  Ugh, NO!

Many recipes call for cornstarch but I didn't have any so I found many recipes that just use three ingredients: flour, water, and food colouring!  I came across this blog and thought there were some great ideas for edible toddler paint and also non-edible paint for older children.  There is no end to re-using what we already have in this house!



Ingredients:
equal parts (I used one cup of each) water and flour (I used all purpose unbleached flour)
food colouring
spoons, cups, blocks, sponges, etc!


I added the flour slowly to the water, whisking until smooth and then added 40 drops of colouring.





And the finished product (still drying after 7 hours!):
