| SHINY EDIBLE PAINT
1 quarter size clear corn syrup
1 drop food coloring
Mix together completely using toothpicks. Use to paint large marshmallows. Make edible puppets. Put marshmallows on end of childs finger or end of spoons before eating. Do some finger plays or songs. You also can use this to paint faces on sandwiches, pancakes, graham crackers or cookies. Makes wonderful bright shiny paint for pictures on paper but stays sticky indefinitely.
