1 c. water
2 tbsp. cornstarch
Food coloring

Mix the water, cornstarch and several drops of food coloring together in a saucepan. Heat and stir the mixture until it thickens, about five minutes. Let it cool. Store in a covered container. Use the paint for fingerpainting or as an almost dripless easel paint. If the mixture becomes too thick, add water until it reaches desired consistency.
