Original instructions came from Kinderart. This is the second time we made this type of painting but the first time we did it was over a year ago and he had forgotten all about it.
I put some corn syrup into a cup and had him spread it on the paper with a big paintbrush. This stuff is sticky!
Then I put a few drops of yellow food coloring and a few drops of blue food coloring to start. I gave him two Q-tips and had him mix the colors in the corn syrup to make green. I told him he could use his fingers if he wanted, but he decided not to. Smart boy. Then I put some more colors around for him to mix into new colors. After a few days the painting dried really shiny.

Condensed milk also makes shiny paint. Hahahaha, when we did it I didn't give my kids a paint brush so they had no choice but to use their fingers.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun. My little one would love it.
ReplyDeleteFUN!! I like the Qtip idea instead of ruining a brush.
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat idea. They would love the stickiness! Great idea to use household items. Thanks for linking up to Kid Friendly Friday!
