Reasons to do finger painting with your kids: It's fun, it allows your child to express themselves, stimulates creativity and imagination, develops fine motor, encourages language around the process of creating designs, experimenting with colour and texture, allows your child the freedom to be messy!
Ingredients:
1 cup Flour
water
detergent
food colouring
Make a paste with a little water and flour and slowly add water and detergent (only a drop or two) to make the desired consistency. I made this one quite runny. Separate into paint pots and add food colouring.
Prepare Space: I like to use an old shower curtain. You can use it with any medium (clay, glue, paint) and it washes off easy. Paint shirts are good, but old clothes are essential! Large sheets of paper.

| I love watching them share materials and enjoying working both together and independently |
Lovely sensory experience. My eldest enjoyed describing the colours merging and changing. While the little one enjoyed painting her legs, arms and face :) It got quite funny at the end because they had painted their feet and hands and it got very slippery! So beware! We all thought it was hilarious, slipping and sliding in the paint...it wasn't long before they both ended up in the shower!
