Sunday afternoon Jody was busy working on new molding around the living room doors and windows (did I mention our house is in a constant state of renovations?!), so I decided to try something new with Judah - finger painting! Raising Homemakers just listed a homemade recipe and I thought it'd be safe considering Judah eating the paint was inevitable.
My assistant in the kitchen.
Flour Finger Paint
One-cup flour
1 1/4 cups hot water
1 1/2 cups cold water
Two-tablespoons salt
Food coloring or tempera paint
Mix the flour, salt, and cold water in a saucepan. Beat the mixtures (with whisk or rotary beater) until smooth. Add the hot water and boil it until the mixture is thick. Beat until smooth. Add food coloring to add color. Store this in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Approximately 30 seconds later, this is what we looked like...
It made a big mess. everywhere. But we had lots of fun. Or, I should say, I had fun while Judah was busy eating it.
And it only took 2 days to get the bits of pasty-dried paint crust out of Judah's hair without pulling it all out *again*.
