- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of water and 2 cups of cornstarch. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
- Divide the mixture into smaller bowls and add food coloring to each, mixing well until you achieve your desired shade.
- Carefully pour the colored mixtures into ice cube trays or silicone molds, filling each cavity to the top.
