A fun task that we got to do during lockdown was making paint! To make paint you need to have 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of water and food colouring. I added the flour first but I only put in 3/4 of a cup because I would use it later on. Then I added some food colouring and mixed the two together. After that I gradually added little bits of water while stirring. Don't add lots of water at a time because otherwise it will be really watery. Then I started adding the salt in little bits too. So I would mix in a pattern water, salt, water, salt. Add little bits of flour if it is watery. I did this until I got the colour I wanted and the texture was thick and drizzly. What I found hard while making paint was adding little bits of water in because sometimes the cup slipped out of my hands. Here are some pictures of my paint!
Very cool Sophie. What are you going to paint with it?
