Finger Painting

Since it was a rainy, muggy fall afternoon here in lovely Houston, and we couldn't go out to play, I decided to get a little crafty. When Colton woke up, from his very short nap, he had his first finger painting experience.

As you can see in this first picture he wasn't too happy. I think we got started a little too fast after nap. He really didn't understand what was going on. He used a finger tip (and lots of help from mommy) to add leaves to a tree.
And then...

Let the fun begin!

No help needed from mommy to make a pumpkin...



...Or to paint his arm!

And our finished work! (Sorry I cant get it turned the right way)

We used homemade finger paint.

2tbls flour

water to thin (add slowly)

food coloring

Our project didn't last long but we both had a lot of fun with it and we have some great art work to show for it!!!
