Homemade Finger Paint

3 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup corn starch

1/4 cup clear liquid dish soap

2 cups water

Mix together sugar, salt and cornstarch in a small pan, then slowly add cold water.

Cook over low heat, stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth; almost clear gel about 5 minutes.

When it's cool, stir in clear dishwashing liquid.

Scoop equal amounts of the mixture into containers and stir in food coloring or, for even more vibrant colors, use food-coloring paste.
