Instant edible paint and art
After having lots of fun with corn flour ,we had few mixture left in the bowl,so we converted it to instant edible paint by just adding one ingredient food colour to it.
Our Instant edible paint using cornflour ingredients :
Corn flour
Drop of food colour
Water as needed to get consistency
Mix everything very well until you get paint consistency.Ask your child to paint using it.It will be messy but lots of fun.
As ,I told earlier ,it’s very easy to clean ,your little ones will enjoy it for sure.
This is the only pic ,I managed to take as my hands were full of paint too as mom & son were having nice time together.

Magic with cornflour
Cornflour = Simple + lots of fun + messy + science.My son experienced while he laid his hands on cornflour.
You just need cornflour and water.Take a bowl ,add corn flour ,mix it water.Add water little by little to get a consistency ( that’s secret of it).
I asked my son to feel the texture of cornflour and told him to mix with his hand so that he could feel it.It becomes hard and it’s not like other flours.
After few minutes,I asked him to take the mixture in his hand .He found it hard as it’s not that easy to remove and then asked him to knead in his hand continuously.The moment ,he stopped kneading ,the mixture turned from solid to liquid.It will change the moment you stop kneading ,in fraction of seconds ,it will lose its shape and turn to liquid.
Thats the beauty of it.Cornflour has the property of both solid and liquid.He was surprised as he tried it for first time and was playing with it continuosly.He enjoyed it very much.
Don’t worry about the mess,it’s very easy to clean and there will be no stains,hands can be washed easily with plain water too.I had great time playing with my son and we spent long hours.
