Fingerpainting

Charity and I were bored this morning, so I was trying to think of fun things we have around the house that we could do something with. I couldn't find the playdough, we always are reading books, and it just seemed like all her toys were boring. So I looked online for a fingerpainting recipe, and this one was quick and easy and Charity LOVED painting with it! She made beautiful pictures, and we both had fun!


And here is the recipe we used:

Original Fingerpaint
Ingredients
1/2 cup cornstarch
3 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups cold water
food coloring

Directions
In a medium pan, mix all the ingredients together to make the finger paint. Cook over low heat 10 to 15 minutes. Keep stirring the finger paint mixture until it is smooth and thick. After the finger paint has thickened take the pan off the stove and let the mixture cool.

After cooling, divide the finger paint into storage containers depending on how many colors you would like. Add a few drops of food coloring to each container. Stir the coloring in to the paint to determine the shade of color. You're ready to finger paint! Cover tightly when storing.
