Make Your Own Paint

This recipe works well with preschoolers because it is somewhat runny, which means it doesn't stain so easily, and completely edible, in case of accidental ingestion. (Not that we recommend tasting it!) The best part is that it’s easily made from things you’ve likely got in your cupboard.
