Fingerpainting Fun

I think I am just going to post a few things taht we have done this month. Sometimes I run out of things to do with my kids. So, why not make the biggest mess possible and fingerpaint. It was actually a lot of fun, and I love watching the kids be creative. Even Jaden loved this, even though I didn't exactly want him to fingerpaint. Here is the recipe if interested in making your

own fingerpaint. I have also used shaving cream and laundry detergent mixed with paint.
