I’m sure I’m not the only parent wary of the ingredients in kids’ art supplies. We once received a kids activity kit that was labeled as “Non-Toxic” but also carried a warning to call poison control immediately if a child ingested any of the contents. Yikes! Luckily, Heather did a great tutorial on Home Made Simple showing us how easy it is to make your own watercolors using ingredients from your kitchen. Not only are these paints truly non-toxic, but you can customize the palette to make any color your heart desires! [how to make your own watercolors]
