Homemade Finger Paints

 One of my friends found this recipe on Pintrist. I'm not sure how much I like it because it turned out more like jelly than paint. My son enjoyed using it and it was fairly easy and quick to make. It might be a good science experiment for older children.

Homemade Finger Paint

3 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup corn starch
2 cups water

Combine ingredients in small saucepan. Warm until mixture thickens. Cool and pour into containers. Add food coloring to create desired colors.
I would recommend using the egg carton for little ones. This recipe makes quite a bit of paint. Putting a small amount into the carton made clean up much easier. Also, I was impressed that the paint didn't stain anything.
