Goop Painting

What to do:

  1. Mix equal parts flour, salt and water until smooth.
  2. Color with tempera or food coloring as desired.
  3. Place in squeeze bottles.
  4. Have children squeeze the goop onto their meat trays to make a picture.
  5. Let dry (this art takes a couple of days to dry completely; over the weekend is best).
