Homemade Fingerpaint

I found this great recipe for homemade fingerpaint and you can bet I'll be trying it out soon!  The two best things about this recipe: cheap and washable.


Recipe:
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 Tablespoon sugar
1 cup cold water
Food coloring

Cook the cornstarch, salt, sugar and cold water over low heat in a pot for about 10 minutes.  It will start out thin, but eventually thicken up.  After it thickens, let the mixture cool and then pour into jars or containers and add a few drops of food coloring to each jar.  You're ready to paint!
