This is a great idea, smells great too. My only problem with this is that I found the paint a little runny so would use less water next time, you also have to be very careful not to get it on your skin or clothes because it does stain. Toddler DD loved this!!

Wow! This was so easy and the colors are so vibrant! When I tagged this, I thought I had Kool-Aid. I didn't, but I did have a powdered "Raspberry Ice" tea mix (the kind you dump into a bottle of water). I used 2 (.07 oz) packets with the 1/2 T water and the color was a gorgeous deep-red "blood" color! I'm sure you have to be careful about staining, but it's easier than using those dried cake pallettes. Great idea!
