How To Make Bath Finger Paints

Here's How:

1. Add one envelope of unflavored gelatin to 1/4 cup hot water. Stir to dissolve gelatin.
2. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, mix together 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, and 1 3/4 cups of cold water. Stir well.
4. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
5. Remove from heat and stir in the gelatin mixture.
6. Add 1/4 cup of liquid dishwashing soap.
7. Stir and let cool.
8. Divide mixture into portions and tint with drops of food coloring.

Tips:
