I can't remeber where I got the idea, but I decided to try it. Finger painting with colored vanilla pudding. You put a few drops of food coloring in with vanilla pudding and let them go to town. It was a lot of fun to watch them get into it. It was also a big mess and clean up was a pain, but worth it I think. I love trying new things with the kids and so do they. It's little things in life that they will remember most. I am so blessed to have 3 sweet kids and to be able to stay home with them. I thank my sweet husband for working so hard.
