apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

You will need:
3 parts water (3 cups)
1 part cornflour (1 cup)
food colouring
saucepan

Bring the water to boil in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Dissolve cornflour in a little cold water and add to hot water, stirring constantly. Boil until clear and thick (about one minute). To make fingerpaint, add desired food colouring. This mixture will be very smooth. A tablespoon of glycerine may be added to make it glossy. A ½ cup of Lux soap flakes may be added to give fingerpaint a lumpy texture. Store in refrigerator as it spoils in hot weather.
