Best Finger paint Ever!

I will never be buying finger paint again!  This recipe is awesome!  (Thank you Pinterest)  Not only is the paint the same great texture as store bought, but you can easily customize the color and it costs pennies to make!

3 T. sugar (I accidentally used 3 t. sugar and it still turned out fine)
1/2 t. salt
1/2 c. cornstarch
2 cups water
(I added in a squeeze of dish soap to make for easy clean up)

 •  Combine ingredients in a pan and heat until thickened.

•  Cool.

•  Put in containers and add food coloring as desired.  Love these custom colors!


•Paint!


I've made homemade finger paint before, and it was a disaster...it turned out all weird and jello like.  I'm so glad I tried a new recipe.  Easy, cheap and fabulous!  Enjoy!

  1. I can't believe the pick-up times for the mail are only 12:00 and 4:30. They really need to hire more postal employees in your living room. Maybe if Micah wasn't posing for pictures he could be put to work. hahahahalawlimsocrazyhahaaaa :)
    But seriously, good idea.

  2. Haven't you heard? The post office is facing a budget crisis...they actually closed the living room branch and moved it to the basement...so now we have to walk all the way downstairs to mail a letter (or book or army man, or my keys and cell phone which often times I find in there). Sad sad economy.

  3. Sandy, does this keep at all? Refrigerate? Or does it seem to need to be used all the day of? Thanks!

  4. We always use ours up right away, but I would imagine it would keep just fine for a few days anyways. Might want to put it in the refrigerator just in case.
