Homemade Paint

Toddler Friendly Homemade Paint

Springtime is just around the corner and I'm sure anyone dealing with the cold weather and the snow like I am couldn't agree more when I say "Thank freaking god!!!!"
This weather is relentless!!
So, for those of you with kiddies and on a budget, like almost the whole American population, I made homemade paint for my little nugget last summer and it was a SUCCESS!!!

Here's what you need.
1 cup flour
1 cup water
food coloring

That. Is. It!!

Mix water and flour until smooth, if you want, you can boil it to make it thinner, that is completely up to you. Separate into 4 different containers,  and add food coloring to get the color you want. If it starts to set, just stir it up again or add a little bit more water.  Depending on your child, determine where you would like this activity to take place.

I chose to use the little plastic tub and put it in the backyard.  And that worked out perfectly for me.  And he LOVED it!!
