"finger painting" day 1

now my backyard is so colorful :)

My kids love to paint. What can be more fun than watching kids being creative and happy in the "pool of laughs"? I decided to make our finger paint by myself. It is not difficult to do, easier to clean than store paint, plus its FREE! :) 

the recipe is:

Mix 2 cups flour and 2 cups water. Add food color. Vou a la

or  recipe #2

2 tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup cornstarch

2 cups cold water

1/4 cup clear liquid dish soap

food coloring or food coloring paste

1. Mix together sugar and cornstarch in a small pan, then slowly add cold water.

2. Cook over low heat, stirring until the mixture becomes a smooth; almost clear gel about 5 minutes.

3. When it is cool, stir in clear dishwashing liquid.

4. Scoop equal amounts of the mixture into containers and stir in food coloring or, for even more vibrant colors, use food-coloring paste.
