I admit, we’ve been lagging behind the ‘arts and crafts department’. I haven’t really made a conscious effort to schedule a variety of these activities for my kids. Our ‘art time’ actually just consist of freestyle drawing and coloring/painting for my daughter and scribbling for my son.
After browsing through a number of sites today, I’m reminded and motivated to include a variety of artwork and crafts for my kids. So, for a start, we will make finger painting with the use of this home made finger paint;
3 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 cups water
Procedure:
Combine mixture in small saucepan.
Warm until mixture thickens.
Cool and pour in containers.
Add food coloring to create desired colors.
