1 c. laundry starch
2 qts. boiling water
1 c. soap flakes
1/2 c. talcum powder

Dilute starch in a cupful of cold water. Add boiling water slowly, stirring starch constantly to avoid lumping. Stir in soap flakes and talcum powder. This will make about 5 pints. The adding of soap flakes to the paint acts as a binder. This recipe can be used to finger paint on glass or over a heavy coat of crayons.
