Another simple gift I made for the girls this Christmas was watercolor paints<\/a>. Since it was a gift, I got a set of 19 assorted paint cups with lids (since I figured we’d be making more paint before it’s all said and done). For our back-up stash and the stash I made for a friend, I just used old babyfood containers.<\/p>\n

First I used these ingredients:<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS
\nOnce the chemical reaction part of the baking soda\/white vinegar was done (I’ll have to do this another time with the girls so they can squeal), I added in the food coloring.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/p>\n

I used 8-10 drops of food coloring instead of food coloring gel since I had the food coloring. I found that if you let the paints dry for 4 days instead of the 24 hours the recipe said, then the colors that separate a little (8 drops didn’t separate) settle back in and dry out completely.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/p>\n

And the finished product was also quite fun and has provided hours of vibrant painting.<\/p>\n

\"OLYMPUS<\/a><\/p>\n

* this is a pic of the colors before they dried. Now image those colors, but dried and that’s the end product. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
