I got a book full of great toddler activities for rainy days. Jackson and I have loved working on these activities together and he LOVES helping create, mix, and cook...then make a mess and play.
This week, we made our own finger paints. He loved being allowed to stick his hands in this fun, gooey stuff without getting in trouble! His favorite was the green.
Here is the recipe we used for those who want to give it a try. Your kids will have fun with it. It's super easy to make, but it only last a day. I tried to store it and it turned into gel instead of paint.
3 teaspoons of sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups cold water
food coloring
1)add water to first two ingredients and cook over low heat
2) stir constantly until mixture is blended together and thickens a little
3) remove from heat and add coloring as desired (the more coloring you add the brighter the paint, but it also leaves a residue on their hands, as I found out)
