Esme looks a little uncertain about getting her hands into the paint!
Jacob got right into it all, as per usual, making lots of swirls and dots with his hands
We made lots of different coloured paint - red, blue, yellow and green. 
And of course, we had to take prints off the paint when we were all done :) Fingerpaint
Ingredients
1 cup cornflour
cold water
3 cups boiling water
food colouring
Method
Blend cornflour with a little cold water. Add boiling water. Boil for 1 minute until clear - make sure you stir though, our fingerpaint got a little lumpy! Add food colouring.

have never made my own finger paint we really should give it a go thanks for sharing :)
My boys would love this mixing and mkaing their own finger paint ...cheaper too than using all the poster paint up.
Ah fantastic, I've been meaning to make T some finger paint. I've bookmarked this recipe - I'll drop you a line once we try it out.
I always find it funny that kids don't like fingerpainting when they first start. The pictures turned out lovely though! :)
I love the big table covered in paint, that is the freedom which is childhood, isn't it? :)
Great - we're definitely going to try your recipe! And I think we have the same table as you on our back deck - I've never thought about putting paint straight onto it - brilliant idea. I'm going to browse through your other tactile posts now in search of inspiration!
I should add a disclaimer that there is a sheet of plastic on top on the table ;)
