Have you ever wondered how to make non-toxic finger paint for babies and kids at home? Well, today this lesson just fell in my lap and I just happened to have all of the ingredients on hand! It was fun, a little messy and a really good activity to pass the time but also get in our creativity for the day.
If you are anything like me, we are currently struggling with the stay at home order during the COVID 19 crisis and I am home schooling and entertaining both the kids. I am also trying to keep the house clean, cook all of the meals, keep up with the laundry, take care of myself, exercise and somehow manage to keep up with this blog that used to be the one thing I got to do for myself. It’s just really hard trying to be everything to everyone and try to find some sort of balance.
Some days are easier than others, and sometimes a DIY science and art project is the last thing I want to do, yet other days I find myself excited to let the kids get messy and bring out our creativity. Today the kids wanted to paint. My 3 year old recently dumped out all of our paints into a bowl to make his version of slime while I was inside for 2.5 seconds. Long story short we had no paint left.
So today when they asked me to paint, I said I can figure this out. I am sure I can just make paint using some ingredients we have on hand! I tried googling a few articles and then came up with my own version. It came out fantastic and I am so happy to share our recipe with you!
In a small bowl mix the dry ingredients.
3/4 cup flour
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Continue this in separate small bowls for each color you want to make
Add 10 drops of food coloring to each bowl of mixture.
I got these small snack containers on Amazon Prime and they are also perfect for storing the extra paint. You get a pack of 12 with lids for just $7.99 and can order them HERE.
I hope you all have fun making paint at home with your kids and are staying safe during this crazy time of COVID 19. We are all amazing moms just doing the best we can so hang in there mama!! If you liked this easy recipe please share the article to your facebook page or friends!! Again, thank you for all the support.
See you soon, Meg
