What you will need:

16 tablespoons of Soap Flakes
16 tablespoons of cornflour
Food colouring in various colours
1 litre of water

How to make textured finger paints:

1) Firstly, add the cornflour to a saucepan and mix into a smooth paste with a small amount of the water.
2) Next, add the remaining water and the Soap Flakes. Supervise your children when gently heating the mixture on a low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens - do not boil.
3) Divide the mixture equally into airtight containers and add a few drops of food colouring to each container. You could also add a few drops of eucalyptus oil to preserve the paint.
4) When the paint is cool, let your kids get stuck in to create finger painting masterpieces!
