Homemade Face Paint Recipe

Bowl or small container(s) 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1/2 face cream/cold cream/heavy lotion (white--i used Aveeno Baby Lotion) 1/2 teaspoon water Food coloring Small paintbrushes

Mix cornstarch and cream together until smooth. Add water and stir. Add food coloring one drop at a time until you get the desired color. Apply with small paintbrushes and wash off with soap and water. You can store the "paint" in small containers or jars. Baby food jars or those Gerber baby food containers work well. I have to tell you that I got a: "You're the best mom ever!" with this activity. Let that be your motivation! ENJOY!
