RECIPE 2
Mix egg yolk, dry detergent and food coloring.

RECIPE 1
Mix 1 1/2 cups starch with enough cold water to make a paste.

These paints work best on glazed paper such as shelf paper.
RECIPE 2
In a double boiler, mix 1 cup cornstarch (or laundry starch) with enough cold water to form a smooth, thin paste.

Add 1 quart water and cook until thick (increase amount of water if necessary).
Beat with an egg beater, and place mixture in empty baby food jars, adding food colouring to each jar.
One teaspoon glycerine makes mixture more pliable and easier on the hands.
Vanilla or oil of cloves can be added to mixture to create a nice smell.
RECIPE 3 (no cook)
Mix 6 tablespoons dry laundry starch with just enough cold water to make mixture liquid and smooth.
Pour this mixture slowly into 1 quart boiling water, stirring well until thick.

4 cups water
12 teaspoons glycerine (available from Drugstore or Health Food Store)
