Pudding Paint!

We had a ton of much needed rain yesterday afternoon, so I thought it was time to let my little girl get creative. I have yet to purchase any finger paints for her.  They're so expensive! The other issue is that she eats everything.  Everything still goes in her mouth.  I can't wait until that stage is over (19 months and counting).

After a quick Pinterest search, I found this idea and thought it was the perfect painting recipe for us-pudding paint!

I made instant vanilla pudding and added food coloring.  After I created the different colors, I put them in a heart shaped cupcake pan.  I gave her a piece of paper from my huge craft paper roll I got at Ikea and put an old t-shirt on her.  Then, I let her go for it.

First, with brushes.

 

Then, she discovered her hands. 

It was fun watching her experiment with the colors. We are also working on color identification, so it was good practice with colors too.

I couldn't believe that this kept her occupied for a whole hour.  If you know my little girl, you know that this doesn't ever happen.  EVER.

Our first crafting experience was a huge success.  Plenty more crafting fun to come! 

Easier Than I Thought!

Cost: Free since I already had pudding and food coloring.
