Hi All
I'm looking to have a messy session this week, but love the look of paint but am very unsure about using it.
Does anyone have any thoughts or tips?
Also is there anything I could mix, with food colouring maybe to give the same effect?
Many thanks for your help.
Simon

Food colouring would be a lot more likely to stain than poster paint!

Hi Bill
Thanks for that, didn't realise! Will Poster paint just wash off pretty easily then?
Thanks for the help

try mixing half a bucket of shaving foam with warm water until it is slightly thicker than milk then add poster paint.
I have never had a problem in washing this mixture out.
Have fun!

Poster paints are made for kids, so they wash off really easily - you can use them to colour things like cake mix and angel delight, too.
