Doodle paint is super fun for kids, and it couldn't be easier to make! You only need 2 ingredients, both of which you likely have on hand.
My kids call this "drawing dough" because it is so easy to draw with, yet it is thicker than paint. Sounds pretty cool, right?

Doodle Paint Recipe
Materials
- White school glue
- Food coloring
- A stir stick/butter knife
- Squirt bottles (optional)
Note: You can mix this paint up right inside of individual glue bottles. However, if you buy your glue in bulk like we do then you will need to pour the glue into squirt bottles like these.
Method
- Begin by filling squirt bottles with white school glue, leaving a few inches from the top.
- Add several drops of food coloring to each bottle, and then use a butter knife or stir stick to mix the food colors into the bottles of glue.
- Once the glue and food colors are well mixed secure the lids, and then give the bottles a good shake.
- Play can now begin!
