Watercolors - a great craft for a rainy day

Ingredients

• 
  MATERIALS NEEDED:
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon Argo® Corn Starch
• 1/2 teaspoon Karo® Light Corn Syrup
• Food colors of your choice
• Styrofoam egg container

Directions

Combine vinegar and baking soda in a small bowl

When the mixture stops fizzing, add corn starch and corn syrup. Blend together; the mixture will have a thick syrup-like consistency.

Divide the mixture among 3 small bowls.

For each color, blend in a few drops food color. Mix with a paintbrush. Note: The more food color you use, the more intense the colors will be.

Use the colors immediately, stirring frequently. Note: If paints dry up, simply swirl a paintbrush moistened with water and start painting. Finished painting should dry in 5 to 10 minutes.

TIP: For extra easy clean up, use a styrofoam egg container to mix the paints. Children will also enjoy experimenting with mixing food colors to create different colors.
