I loved finger painting as a child, thought it was the best! I remember the last day of school in elementary school the teacher would allow up to smear finger paints on top of our desks. It is a fond memory that will always make me smile (easy to entertain...yes I know lol).
So, I figured I would check out finger paints and their costs at the craft store....and I came home with NO finger paints ;)
I came home looking for a DIY recipe online and found one that is AWESOME! Now my children can finger paint til their hearts are content.
Enjoy!
Materials:
old baby food jars or ziploc small containers (I use six)
3 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 cup of corn starch
2 cups of water
food coloring
Directions:
Combine the ingredients in a saucepan on low heat.
Warm the mixture until it thickens
Let the mixture cool
After the mixture has cooled you can then pour equal amounts into the containers
Add the food coloring to each jar
Put lids on paint as they will dry out fairly fast.
