Easy Homemade Finger Paint great for Toddlers

Homemade Finger Paint Recipe Great for Toddlers.  

The things you will need:

small jars or containers

1 cup flour 

2 tablespoons salt

1 1/2 cups cold water

1 teaspoon sugar

Coloring:  food coloring

 

 Here I used old baby food jars to store our paint. This time I started off with 5. 

 Combine all ingredients in saucepan and mix on medium heat until a smooth liquid. 

 To get an even smoother texture whisk the mixture before placing into your containers.

 Once in the jars, place a few drops of food coloring.  Cap and shake to build your colors.  We love the count down and shake for the magic color.  Store remaining paint in the refrigerator. 

 Finger painting wasn't his thing so we used q-tips as paint brushes. :)

How to dye your hair with Kool-aid.

 This I know is old school, but a simple and safe way to give your hair a little tint if you have darker hair.  With lighter or bleached hair you will get the true color.

A few things you need:

1. 2 packets of your choice kool-aid
2. a pair of gloves
3. 1 cup
4. foil
5. a timer

 Here I used the black cheery and cherry flavors combined.

 I mixed the two with a little hot water until it made a paste.  Above you can see how my hands are dyed from the mixture, so gloves are needed. :)

 Wrap the portion of hair you want dyed by wrapping it in foil.

 Set your timer for 30 minutes or longer if needed.

 Rinse your hair with water only and view your tint on your hair.  Hope you like it.  I love it and will be doing it on all of my hair for the new year.  Just love the tint it placed on darker hair.
