RBingham - Making Paint from Vegetable Scraps

Vegetable Paint

Have you ever tried making paint using vegetables?

Ask your grown-ups to:

• boil onion skins for 10 minutes
• use a teaspoon of coffee in hot water
• chop red cabbage (outer leaves), put in a blender with water and strain in a sieve
• chop grass with scissors, put in the blender with a little water and strain in a sieve
• put the peelings of a beetroot in the blender with a little water and strain in a sieve 

What colours can you make?

Explore using different vegetables!

ENJOY!
