Equipment
- 1 Medium mixing bowl
- 1 Spoon or wisk
- 3 or more Small bowls for dividing colors
- Measuring cups
Materials
- 1 cup Soap flakes or laundry flakes
- 1/2 cup Liquid starch
- 1/2 cup Water
- Food coloring
Instructions
- If you want your child to help make this finger paint with you premeasure the ingredients.
- Add the soap flakes, starch and water to a medium mixing bowl.
- Mix with spoon or wisk until it becomes fluffy and smooth. If there are still soap flakes you can a little more water and keep stirring. I like to leave them a little undissolved to give it a fun texture.
- Divide into smaller bowls and mix in food coloring.
- Give your child paper to paint on or let them paint on any washable surface.
- Have fun painting with the children in your life, they are only little for a little while.
Notes
- This homemade finger paint is best for children who are no longer putting things in their mouth. Soap and liquid starch should not be swallowed.
- Could cause irritation if it gets in eyes so be careful, don't let children fling it around.
- Please check the warning labels on all products before giving them to your children. If the product does not have a warning label, look at the products website for instructions on what to do if products are swallowed or in eyes.
