Homemade Finger Paint

Finger Paints are great for little kids since they tend to like the idea of getting messy. It's especially great for toddlers since they don't know how to use a paintbrush very well just yet. Fingers are the best tools for little painters.

I found this recipe here online by doing a simple search on finger painting and found that there's most likely just one basic recipe out there, so I won't give anyone any credit because they're all the same... It's really easy to make with simple ingredients that's most likely already in your cabinet. The only problem I had with it was that it tended to have somewhat of a bad odor during the cooking process. My kids really enjoyed painting with it. I never tried storing it so if you did please let me know how that worked out for you.

Ingredients:

2 Cups Water
1/2 Cup Cornstarch
1/2 Ts Salt
3 TB Sugar
Food Coloring

Simply mix all the ingredients except for food coloring in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture starts bubbling and thickens up. Once it thickens up and has a smooth consistency, remove from heat. Divide evenly among small containers and let it cool. Once it cooled down add the food coloring to achieve desired colors. Now it's time to get messy!
