Here is a great recipe that my students love to finger paint with. They can even taste test their creations.

What you Need:

• finger painting paper
• corn syrup (thick)
• food coloring

What you Do:

1. put a good size blob of syrup on each student's paper

2. add a drop or two of food coloring onto their syrup

3. let them dig in

4. let the painting dry for a day or so

If you're studying a specific topic ( sealife, insects....), have students or you draw a basic shape first. Then outline it in a thick black marker. After they are done painting, let it dry for a day or so and cut it out.
