Finger painting is FUN!!!

A few months back I purchased some finger paints for my daughter. 
They of course were non-toxic, and washable!   I'm def. not crazy!!  I wasn't about to get anything that wasn't both of those things...

So of course Madeline LOVED it!!
She had sooo much fun, and made such a mess, but nothing a bath couldn't fix! LOL   We got some good paintings to give to family too!  Altho I have found it hard to part with any of her masterpieces!!

 It probably would have been smarter for me to take her outdoors to do this, but I just laid an old sheet, that I didn't mind if it got ruined, out in my living room, we have tile floors so I didn't have carpet to worry about getting paint all over... 
I gave her several of my plain white 12x12 scrapbook papers and started pouring a bit out onto the papers for her and showing it to her.
It didn't take long and she was having FUN playing in the gooey wet mess, and had created several masterpieces!!

I am thinking that when I get these photos developed I might even use the actual pages she painted in my scrapbook and put the photos and some journaling on top of them. 

Altho I don't know that I would want to cover anything up....

We have done finger painting on two occasions now, and I havn't done it again for awhile so I am thinking that I might have to get the paints out and try it again!
But now that she is walking all over and moving faster I think I am def going to have to do it outside, so that I don't have paint on my walls too!

But if you are looking for a fun way to keep your kids busy, this is great!! And the paints were maybe $7, so not real expensive, for bottles of paint, and a little paint goes a long way!! 

Here are a few photos of our finger painting fun!

and our finished masterpieces!
I think I have a future Picasso on my hands ;)
