Water Colors from Famous Kids Concoctions

1 tablespoon vinegar
1 tablespoon baking soda
food coloring
4 tablespoons corn starch
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Stir together the first two ingredients. This will foam some (great lesson
on chemical reaction). Add food coloring. Mix in the last two ingredients.
Put in small containers and allow to harden. Use like normal water colors.
Make one recipe for each color.
If you know someone who uses Crystal Light Drink those containers work
great.


Nutty Putty (Anyone remember silly putty?)

1 tablespoon liquid starch
2 tablespoons white glue
3 drops food coloring (optional)
plastic egg or screw top jar (baby food jars are great) Put starch in a
bowl. Add glue and let sit 5 minutes. If desired add food coloring. Mix
until starch is absorbed and color is spread smoothly. HINT: The longer you
mix the better it gets.


Finger Paints

A. 1 cup cornstarch diluted in
1 quart of boiling water
1/2 cup soap flakes (Ivory snow I think still has flakes)
Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Put a small amount on slippery freezer paper
and have a ball.

B. 1 cup warm water
1/4 cup flour
powder food coloring (like Wilton's frosting colors) Whip the warm water and
the flour. Add the powder color and mix.
