Little Artist

Today was one of those days - you know, those days where you look at the clock and it's only 12:30, and you look at the clock a few hours later and it's only 12:45? Feeling like Emmett and I were in an activity rut, I knew we needed to try something new.


So here is what I did. While Emmett ate a snack, I mixed 4 cups of water with 2 cups of flour in a pan. I heated the mixture on low until it thickened, and then added just a bit of salt. After that I divided the mixture into four plastic cups and added food coloring. The result? Finger paint! Somewhat edible finger paint, which I thought was important for a 10-month old. I turned out to be right, because Emmett probably ate more than he put on the paper.


Here is the result of our first painting adventure.
