Most finger paints are not meant for little ones, but they want to explore textures too! So next time you need an art activity for your baby try these ideas. Babies can do this directly on their highchair tray, the table in front of them, a cafeteria style tray, freezer paper or paper grocery bags work (you might need to tape it down for it to stay put).
For this recipe, all you need is flour, water and preferably a natural food coloring (Have you seen these? Blue from blueberries, red from beets, etc. Check them out at your local grocery store). Pour one cup of flour into a bowl, slowly stir water into the flour until you have a mixture that feels like fingerpaint. Add several drops of the coloring (as many as you'd like the color to be). You can always separate into smaller bowls to make multiple colors.
Voila! Safe finger paint for your baby. Also, try an array of messy, spreadable foods!
