    Tasty Fingers

  1. Mix a box of your favorite flavor of pudding (instant or regular) or jello with just enough water to make it the consistency of finger paint.
  2. Then spread out a large piece of paper on the kitchen floor or table or even outside.
  3. Use the pudding as paint and finger paint all over the paper. You can even stick feet in it and walk on the paper to make foot prints. Once the paper is dry, you can cut out cute shapes to decorate the house with or make cards to send to Grandma.
  4. Its fun to do this activity in the bathtub or shower. Just do the painting on the walls and in the tub and then wash it away! It's especially fun to do body painting when doing this activity in the tub.
  5. Its not only OK to lick fingers during this activity, its encouraged!
  6. (P.S.) If you're really brave and adventurous you can also use peanut butter, jelly, whipped cream, or any other smooth or lightly rough textured food.)
