Finger-painting

I love introducing children this age to finger-painting. They are often dubious at first, then intrigued by the sensation. Nora explores the slippery sliminess... (Her verdict? "Weird, but interesting.")
You can use your hands and fingers. You can also use stamps. (Or toothbrushes, or popsicle sticks, or apple slices, or scouring pads, or... It's fun!)
And then, after the initial uncertainty has worn off, they really start to enjoy the goopiness!
Look! My hands are purple! MINE are green!
Dominic is in The Zone.
Boo, yeah! FINGER-PAINTING!!!
