Fingerpainting (otherwise known as wth was mommy thinking?)

Today we decided to embrace messiness and do some fingerpainting. So as not to cause too much craziness, I made some non-toxic paint by dyeing (sp???) a few things of vanilla pudding (one green, one blue) and threw in a chocolate for good measure.



We start out fairly well....notice she's already tried to taste the paint though ( I never indicated it was okay to eat by the way)

Across the way, N is working studiously...never once does she try to eat the paint. I almost felt bad for her and am still debating giving her a pudding snack later today. (K is cut off!)

Pan back over to K.....mmmm...this tastes yummy....s'ok mama...quality control

Meanwhile....here is K after I took away her "paints". Because let's face it...what 16 month old needs to eat 3 pudding snacks in one sitting?

I think it might be a while before we try finger painting again. :-)

Big fun, big mess here. I have very distinct and wonderful memories of edible finger paint. Didn't know it was pudding til years later. Love that first picture of K. What eyes!
