Washable Homemade Finger Paint Recipe

Yes, we brought fans outdoors, can you blame us?  It's over 100 degrees everyday!

I couldn't wait for Elle to get her fingers into this paint!  She loves to color, so I knew that she would do great with paint!  I found a recipe from Food.com for a washable finger paint.  It worked great. Although it's washable, I would still recommend wearing clothing that is not your Sunday best! Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup cornstarch

2 cups cold water

1/4 cup clear liquid dish soap

food coloring or food coloring paste

Directions:

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

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

When it's cool, stir in clear dishwashing liquid.

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