 Materials:

  •  Liquid Starch
  •  Large Flat Paintbrush
  •  Construction Paper
  •  Water
  •  Colored Chalk

 Procedure:

1. Using newspaper, cover your workspace.

2. In a small plastic container, mix equal amounts of starch and water.

3. Give child a piece of construction paper and a paint brush.

4. Have child dip the paintbrush into the starch and brush it onto the construction paper.

5. Then using the chalk, the child can draw a design onto the wet construction paper. Remember, let your child create whatever their heart desires!

6. When the project dries, the starch acts as a fixative and won't rub off.

This method creates beautiful art -- which definitely deserves the best spot on the refrigerator door!
