The next posts here are going to be crafty posts, I am having some medical problems and have not felt much like cooking. So my poor kids have been surviving on unhealthy and expensive take out, sandwiches, cereal, smoothies, soups and ramen... my poor babies they are used to much better meals. When my guilt gets the better of me and I'm in between episodes of dizziness and headaches I have been trying to make it up to the kiddos with fun family craft projects. With all this time at home my Pinterest boards have gotten pretty full so I have been using them for inspiration.
I love all things Disney, all things DIY and making things out of things I already have. So when I saw this pin I just knew I had to make these homemade finger paints for my little ones, and anytime I see or talk about painting the song from Pocahontas "Colors of the Wind" plays in the back of my mind... I have a huge princess complex, Disney tunes are a constant internal soundtrack to my life :) Yes, I know... you are shaking you head at me, that's ok I get that reaction a LOT lol. Anyway... Today we painted with all the colors of the wind and it was fun!
The paints were made with regular kitchen ingredients that I always have on hand. My daughter Bella does not like being dirty so she was kind of unsure about using her hands to paint, she does love to paint with her brushes though but after a while she was digging in and having a blast. When these paints run out I think I might adjust the recipe to have 1/2 the cornstarch and see if they would work with her brushes like poster paints vs finger paints.
