I wanted a paint that would dry fast and I found it!!! It literally took about 8 minutes for paint to dry the second it hit the paper. It smelled good too!
Mix 1 cup liquid tempera paint, 1/4 cup liquid laundry starch, 2-3 Tbsp liquid dish-washing or laundry detergent, and some cinnamon and ginger.
I used the recipe to make the little Gingerbread Man below with Preschool Kiddos.
We painted the arms and legs with the paint. We used a small round brown plate for the body (but you could paint a plain paper plate). We used contruction paper as the head.
We used the Free Gingerbread Man Template Craft to create these.
