1 1/2 c. laundry starch
Cold water
1 qt. boiling water
1 1/2 c. talc
1 1/2 c. soap flakes
1 tbsp. powdered tempera paint
Mix laundry starch with a little cold water until creamy. Add the boiling water. Cool until glossy looking and add talc. Cool slightly. Then add soap flakes, stirring until distributed. Mix in tempera paint--any color. Children can "paint" directly on a formica table. Paints can be made by pressing a clean piece of paper onto the painted surface. Be sure to press all of paper onto painted surface for a complete print. Paint can be stored in an airtight jar. Add warm water if is too thick.
