DIY Toddler Finger Paint

I like to think of myself as a play at home mom. I plan outings, projects, and games... Who wouldn't want to stay home and play? Tonight I've been preparing our art activity for tomorrow, finger paint! As the good little Pinterest junkie I am, I saved a boat load of glass baby food jars for just such a project (yes I'll take my cookie now). My 20 month old loves to make a mess, squish, squash, and create. So here is my one jar recipe for finger paint!

The Cast:

1/3 c flour

1/4 c water

1 tsp sugar

1 pinch salt

1 small squirt of food color gel or drops

The Story Line:

Mix all but the food coloring with a whisk until smooth. Stir in the color of choice and pour into small container. This recipe fills a 3.5 oz jar & couldn't be easier.

Our high chair is ready for arts & crafts tomorrow! So let loose mommies (&dads) and allow the mess to happen! We will likely turn up the thermostat and do this in just a diaper. Good thing she's already getting a bath tomorrow morning! Happy crafting! -Jenn xo
