What you need for this ZOOMdo:
- pan
- liquid laundry starch
- water-based tempera paints
- plastic straws
- hair pick or a plastic fork
- construction paper
- newspaper to cover your work surface
What you do for this ZOOMdo:
- Pour laundry starch into pan until it is about 1/4-inch thick.
- Dip a straw into the paint and gently flick the paint over the surface of the starch (it will float on top). Try using a few different colors.
- To get swirls in your paper, take a fork or hair pick and comb the surface a couple of times. (If you do it too much, you get a muddy brown color.)
- Take a piece of paper and gently place it on top of the starch and count to 3.
- Carefully pick up the paper and lay it down flat so it can dry.
- Try it again with different colors.
