I'm always a tiny bit paranoid about the things manufacturers put in their products. and some would even say I'm a kind of ubber protective when it comes to Mallory. I'm sure washable paint is fine and I have used it for crafts with Mallory before, but if she's going to be covered all over in something and possibly ingest it, I want to know for sure there is nothing that could hurt or irritate her. That said, I decided to make my own finger paint. It was so simple. Mallory loves vanilla Greek yogurt. Stir in some food coloring and you're all set. She used paint brushes instead of her fingers. She was a mess by the time it was all over. She painted on construction paper and I had to change out the sheet about 3 times as they kept getting soggy. Of course, if your painting with a food product you probably aren't going to be able to hang your masterpiece on the wall so take lots of pictures.
