- How have we not fingerpainted before now?
The other day I realized Eli had never finger painted before! Imagine a 20 month old who has never painted with his fingers. That had to be remedied right away so I hopped into the kitchen and made some. So simple and so fun!
Homemade Fingerpaint is so easy!
Homemade Finger Paint Recipe:
-
Dissolve 1/2 c. cornstarch into 1/4 c. cold water. Set aside.
-
In a saucepan boil 1.5 cups of water.
-
Remove from heat and add cornstarch/water mix stirring constantly.
-
Place saucepan back on the heat and boil 1 minute until the mixture is thick. Divide mixture in half.
-
Add 1/8 t. to each mixture.
-
Allow paint to cool until it is just slightly warm and enjoy with your little one. 🙂
The finished product. A definite success!
This was such a fun sensory project. Eli also made some great pictures to mail to the grandparents.
This activity is perfectly suited for a nice summer day.
