Last month we made non-toxic vinegar cornstarch paint, and it was a hoot!
Easy to spread and much less pungent than one might expect, I used the simple recipe from my go-to art book: First Art : Art Experiences for Toddlers and Twos
I had everything set-up just like last time we painted, and of course,
dancing in his “art smock” is always a hilarious part of the process.
We used this recipe one other time, and experimented by pouring a bit onto the paper and smearing it around. The next day it dried, but left a powdery residue from the cornstarch, so the art couldn’t really be saved. Fun, but good to know for future reference.
Have you done any fun art projects lately?

He’s so cute! He looks like a wizard or a recent graduate in that smock.

I love the smock dance! And that rug is super cool! We have been working on a new art project I plan to share this week.
