Finger painting

Brayden recently started going to a Mother's Morning Out program at our church two mornings a week. He usually brings home some kind of craft that he made each day. That got me thinking of trying to do some arts & crafts activity at home, so today we tried "finger painting". I found a recipe online for homemade finger paint using flour, water & food coloring. After getting everything ready, I let him go to it. He enjoyed it all of about two minutes before he was ready to move onto something else!! Oh well...he did make quite a mess in those two minutes, getting the "paint" on his clothes, my clothes, the chair and in his hair. He also sampled a little paint, so it was on his face & mouth as well. Here are a few pictures of him in action and the final masterpiece!

That is a beautiful painting! The boy obviously has talent.

The bigger the mess, the more fun he had! You'll have to save that, maybe frame it or something.
