Homemade finger paint

In a large saucepan combine 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup cold water. Stir till smooth. Add 3 cups additional cold water. Cook and stir over medium heat till mixture thickens and bubbles. Reduce heat. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Remove from heat and pour into three heatproof bowls. Use food coloring to tint desired colors. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature till cool. Spoon paint on paper, paint!

It can stain if you use too much food coloring. You want to use a little bit just to get a little color.
If you like your child can use paintbrushes and add more food coloring.

thanks for posting this, Im going to swipe it for my preschooler and try it fi you dont mind:D

Its great to see an actual real live creative kids post instead of a spam attack!!
