Finger Painting!

Ellie and I decided to finger paint... maybe next time I'll have her do this in the morning instead of right before bed. I just figured I would have to drop her in the bath tub afterward, so I waited until just before we would normally have a bath... she had a good time, but the pics make her look really serious about the whole experience. She was very tired. :)

It turned out to be a good recipe for finger paint. If you're interested:

1/4 c cornstarch

2 c cold water

Boil together until thick and creamy. Add a few drops of dish soap (for clean-up's sake). Transfer to small containers and add a few drops of food coloring. Mix until you get the colors you desire. Let cool before using.

Ellie and I painted on freezer paper because I had some left over. It worked well. I loved that she could decide to eat the paint (oh yum) and I didn't have to worry about it.
