This is seriously the easiest fingerpaint to make and exposes your child to new textures – smooth & sticky.  It dries in a nice glossy look.  This is one of the great recipes in The Ultimate Book of Kid Concoctions by John E. Thomas & Danita Pagel.
This is easy to make when away from home on vacation or at the lake cabin or overnight at grandma’s house.  Don’t have to pack kids’ paints/tempera etc.

• 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
• 4-6 drops of food colouring

Mix corn syrup with food colouring in small bowls.
Can make a few different colours and let the children enjoy the mixing of colours.

TIP:  Have then do this fingerpaint in a bibagogo or  shirtless…messy and sticky but easy to clean up and fun.
