Introduction
These watercolors are easy to make with ingredients that you mostly have at home. The original recipe is from the website Happy Hooligans. They are great for painting and making them is a little adventure and experiment for children as well.

Things needed
- 4 TL backing soda
- 2 TL white vinegar
- 2 TL cornstarch
- 1/2 TL light corn syrup
- Food coloring
- cake pop mold or something similar
Steps
Mix white vinegar and baking soda and let it react.
Then add starch and syrup and mix well.
Spread the mix evenly to multiple moldes and color each in the desired color. We found a toothpick very useful.
Let the color dry out completely, which may take 24 - 28 hours depending on the temperature.
All done! This color can be used like any other water color with water and a paint brush.
