Finger painting fun!

I wandered across a recipe for homemade finger paints the other day (on Pinterest, where else?!?), and was dying to try it out for my Bug. I have wanted to buy him finger paints, but I knew he'd try to eat them, and I wasn't sure I was ready for the mess! Once I saw this easy recipe I knew I had to make them.  Everything I needed I already had in my kitchen which made me that much more excited. Plus, if he eats it I know there is nothing that can harm him! Once L went down for his nap I went to work, and it literally took me all of 20 minutes. 

Homemade finger paints:

3 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup corn starch

2 cups water

1. Combine ingredients in a small saucepan 

2. Warm until mixture thickens (I added some more water to thin it out a little.)

3. Cool and pour in containers (I used the containers I had used when I made L's homemade baby food.)

4. Add food coloring to create desired colors. 

5. Create masterpieces with your little one(s)!
