Being home in quarantine has really brought out the crafty side of me. Dominic and I have loved doing all these easy DIY projects together.

This finger paint is so simple to make! It makes a lot so you can use it for a while before having to make a new batch.

I love that this paint is made with common household items so you probably don’t have to buy anything extra.

SUPPLIES:

  • 1/2 cup of flour

  • 1/2 cup of salt

  • 1 cup of water

  • food coloring

DIRECTIONS:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and water

  2. Whisk everything together— it will be grainy in texture

  3. Pour into individual cups or a muffin tin or mason jars

  4. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to each cup and stir to mix it all up

  5. Start painting using your finger or paint brushes or sponges

  6. HAVE FUN!

We had a lot of paint left over, so I just covered the cups with foil to use at a later date.

It was so fun to paint with and it cleans up really easily. Dominic loved making splatters with the paint. We also used a variety of paint brushes and sponges so that he could try out different tools.

It’s a fun sensory activity that we both loved! We did it during Giulietta’s naptime, but I think she would have had fun too!

It dries with a grainy texture so it was neat to see Dominic playing with his masterpiece when it was all dry.
