Homemade Finger Painting

Kids love painting, but many store bought paint can be a bit toxic! We found this recipe of homemade finger paint...easy to make and clean, and cheap.

Recipe
1 cup cornstarch
3 cups water
food coloring

In a saucepan, boil the 3 cups of water. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl dissolve your cornstarch in just a bit of water. Remove your saucepan from the heat, and dissolve the cornstarch mixture in the hot water. Bring the mixture back to a boil and cook it until it’s thick and clear. Divide your fingerpaint into separate small containers and let it cool before mixing in your food coloring.
