Homemade Finger Paint

This is one of the fun craft ideas for kids, learning games for kids and toddler activities.

Ages 2 - 5
Need: 1 cup condensed milk, bowls, food coloring, construction paper

You'll need as many bowls as you have of different food colorings.

Pour an equal amount of the milk into each bowl.

Let your child add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl.

Ask him what color he's using and ask him to name other objects that are that color - or point out objects in the room that are the same color.

Once all bowls have turned color, let him create his work of art on construction paper.

It's fun to have her put different colors on top of each other to create a new color. See if she knows what the new color is.

Explain how 2 colors create a different color.

Ask him what his favorite new color is. Why does he like it so much?

Can he find anything in the room he's in that is that color?

Have a few different colored sheets of paper handy. Let him paint on each sheet of paper.

Compare how the same colors look different on the different colored paper.

Use darker colors on darker colored paper. See how it blends in and is almost hard to see the paint.

Then use lighter colors on dark paper and see how easy it is to see the paint.
