The Edible Finger Paints

By -

My princess loves painting..so nearly everyday she asks me to do some sort of painting...but mostly I end up refusing because of my lil monster...he wants to eat n throw everything...so I can only imagine the mess he'll create if we paint while he is up...not his fault..he is just curious about new things..that is how a 14 month old should behave...

So anyways... I came across a finger paint recipie online...n then there were numerous....so I decided to take it on with n for my kiddos...

Here's what we did....

Ingredients..
1/3rd cup flour
2 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoon sugar
Food colorings

1. Mix the water, salt and sugar and heat on a low/medium flame in a pan.
2. Add the flour and keep mixing. Dissolve any lumps.

3. Heat the mixture on medium and keep stirring until the desired consistency is achieved. I kept it a little flowy as my kiddos are especially fond of messy painting.

4. Once desired consistency is achieved, divide the mixture into 3/4 different jars. 

5. Now add a few drops of food colouring to each jar. We found adding more food colouring gives better results on paper later.

And DONE ! Lotsa fun for the kiddos and I really didn't mind if the lil one wanted to experience the taste ! ;)

The World of 2040 for Our Children

I sometimes wonder, in today’s world of technological and information overload, what are the indispensable skills that we as parents should empower our kids with to be prepared for the world in 2040’s as they venture into their work life? Will it be beneficial in 2040 that my child can code in scratch/ Javascript/ C# ? Will it matter they can do long division of a 6 digit number ? Will it be helpful that they could solve fractions and quadratic equations in Grade 6 ? I found the answer for all these questions to be NO. It won’t be beneficial. It won’t matter. And it won’t help. In today’s day and age, our children have a tsunami of information. Not wealth, tsunami. There is no end to the data available to them if they have access to internet (and lets be real, who doesn’t?). And the concern is that it is un-censored, un-checked information. A multitude of opinions and accounts from every Tom, Dick and Harry about every subject you could imagine. Even as adults, we struggle to...

The Very Special Interstate Holiday - Gold Coast March 2021 - Day 1

For the past year and a quarter we've been restricted and actually locked-down in our countries, states and homes, courtesy Covid-19. So this March, for my dear husband Aman's FORTIETH, we finally managed to get away. To Gold Coast, probably his favourite destination, for the thrill of the amusement parks!  The most exciting bit for me was getting on the airplane and flying high! Am obviously still eagerly awaiting being on an airplane home to mum and dad in India. But this was liberating and such an exciting experience nonetheless.  We left from Melbourne on the evening of Saturday, 20th March 2021 and returned on the night of Wednesday, 24th March 2021. I've tried to log all the 5 days of the trip to share our experience with family and friends. So watch out for all the individual Day Vlogs and let us know if you liked them. The first in the series is of course DAY 1 - the day we flew from Melbourne to Gold Coast Airport (Coolangatta), checked into our accommodation and s...
