Hi my name is LaDonna, and I am a Pinaholic!!
Yes I jumped on the Pinterest band wagon and it is so ever addicting. It is quite fun actually, not to mention all the way cool ideas you find on there. One of the most "popular" pins lately has been this no mess finger paint. It looked fun so I pinned it on my Craft Board. (I figured if you are going to pin things you should at least try them!!) So I set off to find an "easier" recipe for finger paints. There are numorous ones out there and with a 1 year old who has more energy than I can keep up with the easier the recipe the better!! It literally took me 5 minutes to measure, mix and color. I also wanted to find one that if we decided to do a finger paint session with the mess that I should find one that if my daughter decided the paint would be better in her mouth I wouldn't have to worry that she would digest something she shouldn't (I did taste test the paint and it tastes like bland pancake batter;-) ) and a fun time of messy finger painting would turn into a not so fun for mom finget paint session:)
(this is where I found my recipe)
I googled "finger paint recipes" and almost every mom out there has come up with their own version and blogged about it, so it wasn't hard to find one that I liked and copied it.
All you need is 2 cups flour, 2 cups cold water, and food coloring! Once I stirred the flour and water together I separted it out in my little mixing bowls and added the food coloring. So Simple!!
Then I found some gallon Zip Lock bags place a piece of paper in it with a few globs of the colors
AND.....
Walaaa! No Mess Finger Painting!! Maybe after nap time I will let her get messy with the paints.
CHEESE!! (waiting for mom to make paint)
