Have you said "You're a great helper!" to a child today?
Finger Paint Mixture
1 cup liquid starch
1/2 cup soap chips
6 cups warm water
Dry tempera or food coloring
Dissolve soap chips with enough water and stir until all lumps have dissapeared. Add to starch and remaining water. Keep covered in plastic jar. Color may be added as children paint, or in the mix. A few drops of oil of clove prevents bad odors. Be sure to keep mixtures in covered jars in a cool location.
