Easy Finger Paint Recipe

All kids love to paint, right?

Well, the little ones anyway! Finger painting is usually always a hit at our house! With very little preparation, have fun and save money by making your own paint with this easy Finger Paint Recipe. It is a lot messier than painting with a paintbrush, but it is worth the mess.

Kids love to get dirty. At least most kids, my youngest always wants to wipe her hands ever couple minutes. She is a rare child though. My other two dig in and make a mess happily.

When my girls were real little I used to take them outside and strip them because it could get kinda crazy. I set up a table and let them have at it. Paint flying everywhere.

They would be covered head to toe from painting themselves and each other. But they had a blast. And it made for some really cute pictures too.

If you have little ones learning to write their letters this could be a fun way to have them practice. Enjoy.
