Fantasy Paint
for Dragons and Mermaids
When you create Fantasy paint for Dragons or Mermaids, let the kids mix up the ingredients.
4 Tbs baking soda
2 Tbs corn starch
3 Tbs vinegar - The kids will be excited to watch it bubble when they add this ingredient!)
Mix well, then add
1/2 tsp Karo syrup
Mix well, pour some of the mixture into the spaces of a 6 muffin cup tin. Then add glitter and food coloring. Let the paint dry overnight and let dry out.
Tomorrow, the paint will be ready to use. The children will need a paint brush and plenty of water. Let the kids paint on thick paper, because they will use a lot of water.
