About This Project
🎨 Mix up your own safe-to-taste paint using simple ingredients from your kitchen! Create colorful masterpieces with home-made paint while you create with toy cars. Perfect for our youngest artists! 🖌️
Steps
Mix up your paint
Add equal parts water and corn starch to a muffin tin with a few drops of food coloring. Mix it up! Use a different color in each muffin tin opening for a full rainbow. If the paint feels too thin, add a little more cornstarch. Not too much though or you'll make oobleck!
Paint!
Use your brush to make a paint puddle on one side of your paper, then race your toy cars through it. What shapes can you make? Can you make a full rainbow? Do different toy cars make different tracks?
