Today I mixed together some flour, salt, water and food coloring and Petal learned to paint!

The recipe was a bit of a pain to make (for me, anyway, because I’m gifted). It’s very very simple, but loooots of arm-cramping stirring is involved and it doesn’t smell very pleasant if you burn it like I did. Oops.

Next time we’re going to use plain yogurt and food coloring instead. It’s even simpler and no stoves are needed. ;]

But all in all Petal and I had fun!

 

Maybe one day her artwork will be featured in museums and go for a couple thousand dollars just like Tillamook Cheddar. 
Or maybe I’ll just end up with lots of Petal’s paintings on my fridge.
