Today we painted with tempera paint, food safe paint. The last two images of the set are the final pieces. They stuck theor faces in it trying to see if it was food, and they also walked over each other so they painted each other as well. They are not the best painters, but they did their best.20180403_173400.jpg20180403_173750.jpg20180403_175922.jpg20180403_173903.jpg20180403_174430.jpg20180403_180219.jpg20180403_181208.jpg20180403_182724.jpg20180403_183121.jpg20180403_183452.jpg20180403_183504.jpg

Gonna have to paint with the adults another day. It was rainy today and I'm gonna be away on field research for the next few days. But when I paint with the adults I'll add them to this thread.

Wow it looks cool what paint did you use I want to do this with Billi but I’m scared it might go in his eyes or he’ll eat it.

The one that used pee to bring out green colour will become a great artist in the future... maybe we are looking at a next Picasso:)

I used tempera paint. It's just a mix of egg yolk, water, and food colour. You can use fruit juice if you do not want to use food colour. Guides to make it at home are easy to find as well. They tasted it some, but lost interest in eating it and it's just egg so nothing to really worry about making them sick. They loved pink a lot and often circled it and looked at it. I had no issues with it getting in their eyes, but I made the dabs of paint very thin on the paper so they could not shove their whole head in.
