Make your own paint

Let’s face it; you can never leave your little one unattended while painting due to the mess and the risk of paint intake. You can try making some homemade paint by mixing flour, water, and food color to get a thick paint that your child can use just the way he wants.
Mixing the paint and adding food color will teach him about color mixing and how secondary colors are made from the primary ones.
