Homemade Watercolor Paints

Here is what you need: baking soda, white vinegar, light corn syrup, cornstarch, food coloring, a container to make your paints in (plastic egg cartons work great), and wooden skewers or popsicle sticks for mixing.

The half dozen plastic egg crate is perfect for making your paints in.
 
And the bonus is that you can get two sets out of one plastic half dozen egg crate, just cut to separate.
 
First, 4 TBSP of baking soda with 2 TBSP of white vinegar. Your kids will love to see the fizz!
 


Check out the complete recipe and instructions at Pie Birds. Absolutely going to make this with the grandkids when summer is here again. It looks like it'll be a blast!
