Corn Starch Art

We were iced in on Tuesday and needed something to entertain us in the afternoon, so we got inspiration from our new book First Art: Art Experiences for Toddlers and Twos (Thanks Nana!) and did corn starch "art"...which thankfully is about the process and not the product.

Step 1: Convince Grant to touch the dry corn starch
 

Step 2: Add water and mix (...or just play with the measuring cups and make Mommy do the mixing...)

 

Step 3: Add food coloring and mix (...Grant refused to touch it at this point, but enjoyed making Kyle & I do the mixing with our fingers as demonstrated below...)

 

Step 4:  Arm Grant with small, plastic kitchen weapons to use as mixing/splashing tools...

 

Step 5:  Look at Grant's belly button.
