From mid-day picnics to full out excursions to the zoo, the weekends are my favorite time to bond with my little family. Join us on our adventures!

Fingerpainting Update!
Homemade finger paint was a success!
Okay, so my original thought that the texture was a little too thick, was confirmed. Next time I will just boil it for a little less time. That being said it wasn't unsuccessful by any means. She loved it! A bonus to the thickness is that she could pick it up and smear it around in globs. Little one approved! I figure I will give each of these projects a grade:
Easiness: 9 out of 10. It may be tricky to figure out how to get it glob free and to get the right texture. Overall though, it's really straightforward and you'll get better at it in time.
Fun: 10 out of 10! There are so many things you can do with this. We just did paper, but I could see decorating shoe boxes for gifts, canvases for hanging art or boxes for play houses.
Clean up: 9 out 10. Overall this came off very easily from the kitchen table, Little One's hands and clothing. If you over do it on the food coloring, it's not going to be as easy and if you accidentally let it sit on your hands it will stain.
My SO has asked that Little One's face be omitted from the blog since I'll be posting it to Pinterest. I'll do my best. :)
