Krafty Kidz - Part 3

Fairy Dust

Aloe vera gel
Fine glitter
Bowl
Teaspoon
Small pots with lids

In a clean bowl, mix together 12 teaspoonfuls of aloe vera gel and about 1/2 teaspoon of fine glitter.

Spoon the mixture into each pot. Dcorate the lid with glitter, a sticker or a salt dough flower.
Dab a little glitter on yoru cheeks or on your shoulders and arms. Take care not to use glitter near your eyes.

Craft tip
Aloe vera is very gentle, but if you have sensitive skin do a test patch first. Rub a tiny bit of the gel on the inside of your wrist and leave for an hour. Do not use the gel if it makes your skin red and itchy.

2 1/2 quarts of water
1/2 cup glycrin
1 cup of dishwashing liquid

Mix the water and glycrin together until completely blended. Gently stir in the dishwashing liquid, trying not to create suds. Store in an airtight container for several weeks, no refrigeration needed.

Big Bubbles

2 cups Dawn dishwashing liquid
6 cups water
3/4 cup ight corn syrup

Mix ingredients in bucket. Let settle 3 - 4 hours. Makes super big bubbles.

Finger Paint

1/3 cup cornstarch
3 Tablespoons sugar
2 cups cold water
Food colouring

Mix the cornstarch, sugar and water in a medium saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat about 5 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and divide into separate cups or containers. Tint mixture in each container with a different colour and stir until well blended. Allow to cool completely. Store in an airtight container. (This paint works best if you use it the same day it is made).
