I laughed when I saw this. That expression is priceless and the colors are amazing. Tell the truth, was that a pain to clean up? LOL

I love this idea of painting in the tub. I'm so going to steal it since apparently winter is sticking around awhile longer and messes will have to stay inside for a bit.

I thought I would share the Recipe with you, since some of you were interested in trying this at home.

Since this was in the bathtub it was so easy to clean. it did sorta dye her skin, but it did wear/scrub mostly off.

Check the making of pictures to see some of the clean-up.

Cornstarch Fingerpaint

Ingredients
3 cups water
1 cup cornstarch
food coloring

Directions
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Dissolve cornstarch in a separate bowl with water. Remove boiling water from heat and add cornstarch mixture. Return to heat, stirring constantly. Boil until the mixture is clear and thick (about 1 minute). Remove from heat.
As the mixture is cooling, divide into separate bowls and add food coloring. Let the children carefully mix in the coloring.

Oh my gosh! This is so fun! I didn't even think about bath tub paint for messy, but it is such a great idea! Love it!
And your Mom wrote the recipe out. How sweet is that!?
