Finger Paint Recipes

2 Cups Flour

5 Cups Cold Water

Mix the corn flour to a smooth paste with a little cold water using a large pot. Add 5 cups of cold water and stir over low heat for about ten minutes until the mixture has thickened to a consistency that will pour slowly and keep its shape briefly when moulded or patterned with fingers. Colour can now be added.

 

Uncooked Finger Paint

2 Cups Corn Flour 1 Cup Cold Water

4 Cups Boiling Water ¼ Cup Soap Flakes (optional)

Whisk the corn flour and cold water together in a large bowl until all the corn flour is suspended. Pour in four or a little more cups of boiling water while stirring and beat until the mixture sticks together. Continue until the mixture is smooth, thick and translucent. Add the soap flakes if desired and keep stirring. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a little more water. The finger paint should pour slowly and keep its shape for a short time when moulded or patterned with fingers. Colour can be mixed into the finger paint now.
