I'm SO glad that the rain and gloomy weather is gone so we could go outside today! I can't believe that I was cold in JULY!! Corin's friend Hannah came over to play for a couple hours. It was a bit breezy, but they didn't care. They played with the hose and put a little water in the pool and had a great time just running around after each other playing whatever their little imaginations could come up with. They had to leave so we didn't get to do fingerpainting, so Corin did it on his own. I made fingerpaints, just the primary colors so we could mix them to make the secondary. (LOVE finding recipes for those sorts of things, makes it SO much cheaper than actually buying them!)
His first picture he accidently sat in so this is his second picture where we worked together on color mixing for a while and then he did it on his own and painted.
Here is the recipe I used if you are interest. Next time I'm going to try one that I found that calls for cornstarch instead to see the difference.
2 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 1/2 cups cold water, 2 cups boiling water, Food Coloring (til you reached the desired color)
Mix 2 cups flour with 2 teaspoons salt. Add 2 1/2 cups cold water. Stiruntil smooth. Gradually add this mixture to 2 cups boiling water. Boil until smooth and thick. Add food coloring, then stir until smooth.
I took it off the stove, seperated it into 3 bowls and then mixed in the food coloring.
