Is it possible to make natural paints from food ingredients at home and make no mess? Max has proven it is. However, he had some help from an inappropriately white apron, convenient Plenty Handy Towels and his inherent precision. We used spinach for GREEN, turmeric for YELLOW, cacao powder for BROWN and strawberry with beets for shades of RED. We got some bright coloured paints and although they came with different tastes and smells varying from "I want to eat it" to "take it away from me" they were still good enough for creating a masterpiece. How messy are your kids with food?
