Homemade Paint Recipe Supplies:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups salt
- 2 cups warm water
- Water-soluble food colouring
Homemade Paint Recipe Instructions:
STEP 1: Make your base paint.
Take a large bowl and mix in the flour and salt. Add the water and continue mixing until the mixture is completely blended.
PRO-TIPS!
If you like a smoother consistency, heat up the water beforehand and add the salt first, stir and then mix in the flour.
Don't worry if the mixture turns a bit purple when you add the water, it's completely normal and it'll turn into a neutral shade quickly once you start mixing everything together.
STEP 2: Add the colour.
Now you simply need to divide the mixture into different containers and add a different food colouring into each one. Stir well until you get a smooth coloured mixture.
And your homemade paint is now completed. Super easy, right?
We had so much fun making this homemade paint, the kids were fascinated with the colouring process. We hope you enjoy making this paint recipe with your children as well and that you have have lots of fun painting with it.
