This winter weather has been leaving me feeling very unmotivated and lazy. I decided that I need to try to get over the hump and start getting creative in doing things with the kids. Today, while Mike was working, I decided to try to do a homemade craft. I let Kylie choose between making playdough or finger paints. Surprise, surprise, she choose the paints. It was actually very easy and after I got past my need to control the mess, very fun. I posted the recipe below!
I decided to take the paints up to the shower tub, in order to control some of the mess. So Kylie put on her suit and I set Caleb in his diaper and they both enjoyed it. Once they were done, it was easy to rinse clean both of them and the mess! The great thing is that if it goes into the mouth (as Caleb tried) there is no harm, just a colored tongue :)
Homemade Finger Paint:
3 Tbs Sugar
1/2 C Cornstarch
2 C cold water
Mix sugar and cornstarch in a a saucepan, add water and mix until incorporated. Heat over medium heat constantly stirring until mixture thickens (To a pudding like consistency). Take off heat and let cool. Add coloring if desired and have fun!
