What You’ll Need
  

  • 1 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons cornstarch
  • food coloring

Equipment

  • spray bottle
  • measuring cups

Directions
 

  1. Pour the water into a spray bottle and add the cornstarch and a few drops of food coloring.
  2. Screw on the top and shake until the cornstarch is mixed in.

Notes

Make one bottle for each color. It washes away with the hose or the next rain. Food coloring can stain clothes, so play in old ones.
