Rainy day activities: Edible Finger Paint

Finger paints!  Three ingredients!  Let's do this thing!

Let me start off by saying that this was a bit of a fail.  Not an epic fail, but I probably would try a different recipe the next time I make finger paints.

The basic recipe is 1:1 flour and water, then add food coloring as needed.  A lot of the recipes I saw involved heating on the stove and some other ingredients, and I just didn't feel like it (let's be honest, sometimes you just don't feel like putting in any more than the minimum effort), so I just poured warm water and flour into a bowl and mixed with a whisk.  I used one cup of each, 1/2 a cup would have been more than enough.


Then I poured some of it into a mini muffin tin and added 2 drops of
food coloring to each cup.
 



 


Time to paint!

So the issue I had with the recipe was that it ended up being really gritty, and because of that, sticking to skin.  It wouldn't wipe off with baby wipes, so A ended up in the shower.  Which is fine, but unplanned showers can be a real pain!
