4-Ingredient Homemade Finger Paint

We love how easy this recipe is, and we really LOVE that it's affordable to make. Oh, and did we mention it's a great way to keep your kids entertained? #MomWin

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/3 cup Corn Starch
  • 1/4 cup Clear Liquid Dish Soap
  • 2 cups Cold Water

Instructions

  • Mix sugar and corn starch together in a pan over low heat. Slowly add in cold water.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring often until it becomes like a clear liquid gel. (About 5 minutes.)
  • Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.
  • Once cool, stir in dishwashing liquid.
  • Divide into containers and add food coloring.

Notes

We found that putting the mixture from the stove directly into the fridge helped it to cool much faster, making our impatient little hearts happy! Spread it out in a wide casserole dish to allow it to cool even quicker.
