Frugal kitchen art: Glossy Paint

The past couple days have been rainy and cold here in New England. I don't mind it so much because I like using these days to experiment with new crafts and art projects. Today we got a little messy with some homemade glossy paint! It is similar to our sticky paint, but not so sticky. The kids will love this :) And so will you because you likely have these two ingredients right in your pantry!

Ingredients for glossy paint:
Condensed milk
Food coloring
Plastic egg carton or other small containers for paint

Mix desired amount of condensed milk with 2-3 drops of food coloring


Now get painting :) Fingers, paint brushes...




Mama, you join in too :)


And let the kids get really messy!

So much fun! I have been looking for a good finger paint recipe that I could let Ny little guy use on his high chair. To you think this would work well?

He would love this, Kristen! Bath time may have to be in order shortly after :) He'll have fun and you don't have to worry about him putting the stuff in his mouth...I caught Haley a couple times licking paint of her arm LOL
