FINGER PAINT
1 c. liquid starch
6 c. water
1/2 c. soap chips
Food coloring
Dissolve soap chips in water until not lumpy; mix well with starch. Add food coloring. You can use shelf paper, it's cheaper than commercial finger paint paper. Finger painting is messy - be sure to roll up sleeves; put on an old shirt or smock. Wet paper before beginning with wet hands or sponge. Demonstrate how you van use arms, elbows, back and front of hand, etc. It's also fun to use Q-tips, toothpicks and feathers to draw with.
