I will cherish this painting FOREVER!!
Who knew homemade Finger Paint was sooo easy to make?
Oh what FUN we had!
I found a site that had 3 easy recipes...HERE
I used the Cornstarch recipe.
Water {3C}, Cornstarch{1C} and Food ColoringIn a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in a separate bowl with water. Remove boiling water from heat and add cornstarch mixture. Return to heat, stirring constantly. Boil until the mixture is clear and thick (about 1 minute). Remove from heat.
As the mixture is cooling, divide into separate bowls and add food coloring.
Cook, seperate and color.
I used containers with lids for easy storage and future use. Then I later found these at the $1! Perfect for fingerpaint!We painted on washable mats for easy clean up.

He painted on Freezer Paper......
He painted himself......
Until he had the perfect masterpiece!
We didn't even make that big of a mess:-)

I added a photo and hung in the hubby's office!
Check out all the places I party!

Beautiful Painting!
So cute! Thanks for the recipe! I have the one for sidewalk paint that is very similar!
I so love that kid Michell! One question, did the paint stain his skin because of the food coloring? I've heard that recipes with food coloring will do that. Also, I know I need to call you back. I'm a slacker. I'll remember tomorrow...
Um friken awesome right back at ya girl. What a cutie pie, and oh what a neat idea. Every Mother with little ones should see this right now. I so wish I would have. I have a lot of my boys art work, but this is classic. I tell ya he sure looks like he enjoyed it, and was very good indeed!
How cute is that! He looked like he enjoyed that so much and was so proud of his painting. Thanks for linking up!

Stopping by from the Friday Blog hop. So cute! That would be all over my house if I let my kids finger paint. Have a great weekend and stop by any time.

So cute! I can't wait to make some for my baby girl to paint with.
He definitely upstaged his artwork! He is beyond adorable and it brought back such sweet memories of my own chunky (now skinny!) little guy. Thank you for sharing the "recipe" and the creativity with us this week and Inspiration Friday!

We are always doing painting projects. I'm going to have to try this one out.
Did this wash off his body easily?

Wonderful! I remember Painting with my daughter at this age!
What a great name for a blog and idea too! Love it!
Thank you so much for coming over and linking this up to It's Playtime last week. I'm featuring a bunch of baby/toddler activities to get the littlest ones involved this week and included this post!

I'm gonna have to try this...and I love how you added the picture of your little guy making the painting- great idea!
This is the sweetest post! Love your little man and all his artsyness!
Thanks for the recipe! Doing this tomorrow :)
That little boy is so cute!
Love this finger paint for my toddler but thought I would add that after a week of no use, it did start to mold. Definitely a great recipe and, in our experience, best if used right after being made! Thanks for the recipe! Red Bank House Cleaning
I was just wondering if the picture its self molded at all?
The stuff in this blog is in not only incredible but also providing the great knowledge to the people.
