Here's a great finger paint recipe that you can make yourself that can be used on standard white paper, construction paper, or finger paint paper.  This paint is 100% non-toxic, so you do not have to worry about the kids putting it in their mouth.  If you want to use it as a regular paint, purchase foam applicators from a craft store.  Store the paint in baby food jars for the best results, and the longest shelf life.

• 2 cups flour
• 4 cups cold water
• pinch of salt
• food coloring

Mix flour and water together and cook over low heat until thick.

Let cool completely.

Add a small pinch of salt (prolongs shelf life).

Separate the mixture into baby food jars.

Add 3-4 drops of food coloring in each jar and stir until the color is well blended.
