Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 12 teaspoon corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • food coloring (liquid or gels)

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix your baking soda and vinegar together and wait for the fizzing to stop.

    Its handy if you mix it in a container that has a spout.
  3. 3
    Add your corn syrup and corn starch, and mix well until the corn starch has dissolved.
  4. 4
    Pour into ice cube trays, mini muffin pans, plastic egg cartons or small cups.
  5. 5
    Use small spoons or popsicle sticks to add your colours (the mixture will be quite thick so toothpicks don't work well), and stir for about a minute to make sure the colour is mixed in well.

    Let sit for 12-24 hours to harden.
  7. 7
    Grab a wet paintbrush and paint away!
