How To Make Your Own Colored Powder




Mix cornstarch, water and food coloring in a kitchen aid until well blended.
Then pour into a baking dish and bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.


The powder will dry into a very soft brick.
Blend it up to a fine powder in a blender or food processor.

Measure Powder into 1/2 cup portions and put in sandwich bags.


I used the fold over sandwich bags because they are 

so cheap and I have a sealer.


I put wrapping paper around a Cheetos box to store the colors in
so it would be easy for many hands to grab a bag and go quickly.

      Yes it does stain. I asked the kids to wear a shirt they don't mind getting color stain on.

      The color came out of the jeans, but they were pretty dark jeans.

      I didn't count the bags, but we had about 30 kids at the party.

    can we use all purpose flour instead of cornstarch?

      I haven’t tried that. I’m guessing it would work

    How did the kids throw the powder on each other? Did they just reach into the bag and throw powder or did they throw the bags at each other?
