If you’ve been caught without any paint (tut tut!) for the latest art project, then here is an easy recipe.

You will need;

Water

Flour

Food Colouring

Bowl

Spoon

1. Mix small amount of flour and water, mix until you have a smooth paste.

2. Continue to add water until you have the right consistency. For example for finger painting you will need a thicker paint than standard paintbrush painting.

*Tip* If you don’t have any paintbrushes you could do what my nan used to do (my mum did it for us once!), cut an inch or so of hair (yes, that’s your hair) and tape to a twig! This would be a great little tip if the end result wasn’t so shoddy…. ;) (sorry mum, nan…)
