A simple, hands-on art activity for kids using a homemade sugar-water mixture for bright, glossy designs.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • Sugar
  • Water
  • Food coloring
  • Paintbrushes
  • Paper
  • Bowl (for mixing)

Instructions

  1. Mix the sugar and water. Add equal parts sugar and water to a bowl. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Tint the mixture. Add food coloring to the sugar water until you reach the color you want.
  3. Paint on the paper. Dip a paintbrush into the colored mixture and apply it to the paper.
  4. Let the artwork dry. Leave the painting flat and undisturbed until it is dry.

Notes

Food coloring can stain, so protect the work area. An adult should supervise younger children.
