Here is an excellent recipe for
making your own watercolor
paints — a true masterpiece!

Safety Warning: Adult supervision is required.



What You Will Need:

• 1 tablespoon White Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Baking Soda
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon Glycerine (can be found at grocery stores or at pharmacies)
• Food Coloring
• Measuring Spoons
• Bowl
• Spoon
• Small Plastic Containers

What You Do:

• Have an adult help you mix the vinegar and baking soda together in a bowl — pretty cool effect, huh?!
• When the mixture stops foaming, add the cornstarch and the glycerine and stir gently.
• Pour the mixture into a small plastic container (small plastic containers from pudding cups or fruit cups work well)
• Stir in a drop or two of food coloring.
• Let your mixture sit overnight to harden (uncovered).
• Repeat these steps for as many colors as you'd like to make.
• When your watercolors are hard, dip a paintbrush in water, then use the colors to paint your own masterpiece!
