These paints mix up in minutes with items you have in your
kitchen! Experiment to get the most vibrant colors for your
masterpiece. (Do not eat or drink the watercolors. Children
should use only under adult supervision.)
The Ingredients needed are as follows:
2 tablespoons ARM & HAMMER® Baking Soda
2 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1 packet* dry unsweetened drink mix (any flavor)
2 tablespoons water
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl.
Add water and stir until fizzing stops. (Different flavors of
the drink mix will yield different colors.)
For more intense watercolor, a few drops of food coloring can be
added to the mix.
Paint with them right away, or pour into jars with lids and try
to let harden for future use.
*Packets vary in size, depending on flavor. Use enough drink mix
to make 2 quarts. Remember the importance of adult supervision,
especially with young children.
