Stuck at home with sick kids can be boring, so we have been trying to occupy ourselves with various things - art and craft being one of them. My daughter absolutely LOVES art and craft.
So I decided to make some home made finger paints. I found some recipes online which were non-toxic and completely edible (on the off-chance she decided have a taste).
Quite easy to make: Just add 1/2 cup of corn flour and 4 tablespoons of white sugar to a saucepan. Turn the heat on to medium heat, and slowly add 3 cups of water while stirring. Heat until the mixture thickens.
Separate the mixture into plastic cups. We used 6, but I reckon the mixture could accommodate up to 10 cups (we had a bit leftover).
Add various natural food colourings to each cup. Stir.
And begin painting!!! My daughter prefers using brushes, and they work just as well. Best thing about it is - if you cover them with glad wrap or put it in air tight containers, they do last quite a while!
Happy painting!
