Finger Painting
1 cup cornflour
1 litre water
1 cup soap flakes (optional)
A few drops of food colouring
A few drops of dettol, eucalypus or tea tree oil (optional)
Put the cornflour into a saucepan.
Add about 2 Tablespoons of water and mix to a smooth paste.
Add the rest of the water, turn on the heat and then stir the mixture until it st6arts to thicken. (Tip: for a smoother, better result, add soap flakes. This will also stop the kids eating the paint).
Pour into seperate containers and add a different food colouring to each container.
To store - put the lids on containers and keep in the fridge for 2 or 3 days. If you want to keep the paint any longer add up to two drops of dettol, eucalyptus or tea tree oil, but having done that, don't allow the kids to eat the paint.
Bubble Painting
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup powdered tempera paint
2 teaspoon dish washing liquid
Mix the ingredients together in a small, shallow bowl. Having blank pieces of white nearby. Using a plastic drinking straw, carefully blow into the mixture until a dome of bubles form over the bowl.
Create a bubble print by placing a piece of paper on top of the bubbles and gently pressing down. The bubbles will pop against the paper, leaving an interesting print. Allow to dry. If desired, mix together several colours of bubble-paint mixture in different bowls and repeat the process in several colours on the same paper.
