Getting Crafty!

Home made paint

12 tablespoons of cornflour. Mix in 1 cup of cold (tap) water til smooth. Then add 3 cups of boiling water. It will thicken and go clear. Separate into different cups/bowls and add food colouring.

Super easy, non toxic...not nice to eat though! Easy clean off table and clothes!

It made heaps so a half batch should be enough!

One of my old shirts on backwards with a few pegs makes a great paint shirt!
Real men wear pink don't they??





Some for the dog...
and some for me!
Finished Mummy.....can I have some more paper please!

LOVE your new background! Very cute painter you have; James would approve of his fashion, but query why you didn't provide pink and purple paint???

LOL - you can definitely tell you're a teacher AJ, the way you've pegged up Aden's artwork to dry! Love it.

And am just a little green that it's winter and you can put Aden outside!
