This recipe for homemade finger paint is non-toxic and can be made quickly from ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Safe for little ones and fun for any kid who likes to get messy (which is just about all kids, as far as I can tell)!

What You Need:

  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup corn starch
  • 2 cups water
  • Food coloring

What You Do:

Combine all ingredients in small saucepan. Warm until mixture thickens, stirring with a whisk. Cool and pour into containers (baby food jars or canning jars work great). Add food coloring to create any color you'd like. Let the kids be creative!
