Finger Painting

I have done some research on painting and found this article:-

All babies and young children have a streak of the artist in them. Give any baby crayons and paper and she'll astound you with her own special drawing. Is it a car? Is it a person? Well, no. It's likely to be just a squiggle! But whatever it is, it's important that your baby or toddler is allowed to express herself artistically. It's great for her development and her self-esteem. And you never now, it might be a great career choice too!

Your young baby
Young babies' senses are stimulated by everything around them, because they're on a huge learning curve from the moment they're born. Just because she hasn't a clue what she's drawing doesn't mean it's not interesting to her. It's something new and that's bound to excite her. So too will the colours that she sees.

Hence, I would love to give Aqeel a try on this. However, I need to get the homemade color first for his safety. Here is the recipe that I get:-

Finger Paint Recipe

Ingredients:

1/4 cup cornstarch
2 cups cold water
food coloring (red, blue, yellow)
airtight storage container (bowl or jar)

Directions: Mix the cornstarch, water, and food coloring in a saucepan and boil until the mixture thickens. Allow paint to cool before storing in airtight container.

Mixing Tips: For color variety, mix up a batch of the primary colors: red, blue, and yellow. Other colors can be created from these as needed (see project prompts below).

Option: Add the food coloring directly to the cornstarch mixture in the storage container instead of while boiling.

Will try and do it during this weekend. Will show the picture later..
