Cornstarch Paint





Last week we made some Cornstarch Paint using this Homemade Edible Finger Paint recipe from The Imagination Tree.


I had originally thought we would also use it as finger paint but neither Khristian or Michael wanted to put their fingers in it. They decided instead to use the popsicle sticks that I had used to stir in the food coloring. And that was fine since they were having a good time and enjoying the creative process.





Khristian especially loved the pinks.







Michael loved painting but was less than impressed when some got on his fingers.






After this recipe sits for awhile it becomes an almost pudding like consistency. We are definitely going to be using this again. One day soon I'm planning to let them take a batch of this outside to paint rocks and sticks and trees let their imaginations run with it.

    I am going to have to check that recipe out. My granddaughter spends every afternoon after school with me and always wants a craft to do.

    We love cornstarch and water at our house...but I never would have thought to paint with it! What a fantastic idea!
    Would you mind sharing it with my readers as well?

    My last experience with cornstarch paint wasn't the best - I know I just need to use it for different type of art than I was. I love what you've done with it and I absolutly LOVE your idea to take it outside. I'll have to save that idea for a warm day!
