Step 2
Take a look at another recipe. Take the required amount of flour, salt and vegetable oil, mix everything. Add water to the resulting mixture to get a mass similar in consistency to thick sour cream. Mix everything with a mixer. Divide the resulting mass into jars and add food colors.
Step 3
Pay attention to one more recipe for making finger paints. Mix starch with sugar, add cold water there. Put all this on low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Wait for the mass to become translucent and gelatinous. After that, remove from heat and wait until completely cooled. Add dishwashing detergent to this mixture, thanks to which the resulting paints will be easily washed off. Then arrange into jars and add colorful food colors.
Step 4
Learn the most original recipe for such paints. Take the most common shaving foam. Place a small amount in a container and add regular gouache. Drawings with such paints turn out to be very interesting and beautiful, but it should be noted that finger paints prepared according to this recipe are suitable only for children over three years old. You can draw with them only if adults are sure that the child will not taste them.
Step 5
If food coloring is not on hand, try adding juice from vegetables such as carrots, spinach, and beets instead.
