Activity: Making Paint with Natural Pigments

🥄  Mix 4 dessert spoons of cornflour, plus a little water to make a paste.

🥣  Add a cup of boiling water and stir as it thickens.

🌼  Portion into smaller pots and add your ‘colouring’  – we tried cooked beetroot, mashed blackberries and a sprinkle of turmeric. Food colouring, crush flowers and other kitchen ingredients work too!

😉  Wear an apron/paint shirt –  the paint will  stain clothes too 😉
