This non-toxic paint uses starch and salt for its glittery effects.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 15 minutes
Here's How:
- Version One: Premix liquid starch and tempera powder. Use as paint or fingerpaint. Add salt for extra glitter!
- Version Two: Spread liquid starch on paper. Let painters use salt shaker (or something similar) to shake tempera onto the paper. Spread as desired. Add salt for extra glitter.
- Have fun!
Tips:
- Slick paper for fingerpainting or the shiny side of freezer paper work best, but are not required for the sparkly effect.
- Any salt will work, but glitter is more noticeable with coarse salt than with table salt.
- Tempera paint is fairly non-toxic, but not edible :-)
- Try lemon-scented starch for an aromatherapy touch!
