Make Your Own Paint: Don't have paint at home? You can make it from ingredients in your pantry! Mix 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup salt, and 1/2 cup flour until smooth. Separate mixture into 3-4 zip bags or smaller bowls and add a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolor to make the colors you'd like. Some parents mentioned putting these into squeeze bottles (recycled ketchup/mustard bottles or buy new from 100yen store). If the paint is too thick, you can add more water to thin it out.
