The only problem with cooking with cornstarch is that you never use that much of it!
You need maybe a couple of tablespoons to thicken gravy.
You need three teaspoons, tops, for laundry spray starch.
I try not to over-use my resources, of course, but when I have a certain supply sitting around on my kitchen or crafting shelves for years at a time, then I start to look for more useful ways to incorporate it into my life.
It turns out that there are a million uses for cornstarch, and just because you know a few of them by no means makes you a cornstarch know-it-all. Check around and you’ll absolutely find a useful, natural, cornstarch-using recipe that you just have to try.
Here are five recipes to get you started:

I tried making sidewalk chalk with my niece using plaster of paris. Unfortunately it never set. It was such a fun project though, I’ll try this one next!
Plaster of Paris can be tricky. I ruined a project by using too much water in the plaster mix once, but the constarch chalk paint is pretty fool-proof!
Question. With the corn starch recipe..is it better to use food coloring or tempera paint.?
