- 2 TBSP White Vinegar
- 2 TBSP Cornflour
- 1/2 tsp syrup

Instructions
Watercolour Paints
- Gently mix the baking soda with white vinegar.
- When the fizzing subsides, slowly add the cornflour and syrup.
- When mixed, pour into containers.
- Add food colouring to each container and mix well.
- The colour of your watercolour paints, depend on the amount of food colouring you use. To make darker colours, add more food colouring, for lighter colours, only add a small amount of food colouring.
- Leave paints to harden. The deeper the container your paint is in, the longer it will take to harden.
Edible Version
- For an edible version of watercolour paints, mix equal parts of milk powder and water together.
- Add the juice from berries for colour or use other natural food colouring.
