Baby Friendly Finger Paint

After one of my friends told me how easy it was to make “edible” finger paint last week, I decided that would be so much fun and would make a WONDERFUL Father’s Day Card!

I found a website for baby friendly finger paints on this Baby Center thread! Landen and I literally had SO MUCH FUN making a mess with this finger paint, I am pretty sure he consumed more than he painted with, but he thought that it felt so cool!!

This very simple recipe took about 10 minutes to make and cool. I tasted it so I knew what my child would be eating, and it did not taste HORRIBLE…

Of course, here is my little cutie eating/feeding the pups while I whipped us up some Finger Paint! How can you resist a cute baby and doggies!

I used the first recipe on the list! Here are the items that you need:

1 cup cold water

3 cups boiling water

1 cup Flour

Food Coloring

Step 1

Bring 3 cups of water to boil. Put 1 cup of flour in a pot and get out 1 cup cold water.

Step 2

Mix together cold water and flour and mix together (picture 1), pour in boiling water 1 cup at a time, stirring (pictures 2,3,& $ show the consistency after each cup is poured in and stirred).

Step 3

Pour mixture into separate bowls and add food coloring. (TIP: only add a TINY amount of food coloring. I thought that it needed a bunch and I had to make another batch to lighten my colors up).

 

Once the mixture is cooled you are ready to use it! I placed the finished mixture onto paper plates, because I knew how would be throwing them by the end of the adventure!

Please come back and join me on Monday for our “Father’s Day Art Adventure” post! I do not want to post it before Father’s Day for the fear of his daddy actually ready this (which is highly unlikely), but you never know! And just because you read this far… Here is a sneak peek. SHHHH…. ;)

Have a GREAT Thursday!
