For this week's FHE (Family Home Evening) we decided to make some crafts.  What better craft to make this time of year than a hand/foot turkey??  It was lots of fun, for us mostly.  Brynlynn enjoyed the paint and "painting" but, was quickly annoyed with us as we tried to create the perfect turkey.    The finger paint was homemade and completely edible.  I don't remember the website with the recipe, but there are several different ones out there.   Mine consisted of: 2 cups flour, 2 T salt, 1 1/2 c cold water, and  1 1/2 hot water. 1. Mix flour, salt and cold water. Mix until completely combined.  2. Stir in hot water. Mix completely. Bring to a boil. Allow to thicken, while stirring.  3. Allow to cool then add food coloring.  Here they are!  I saved some of her food containers...worked perfectly. She prefers to paint al natural...& I prefer to do less laundry. Notice how the "art" carries from the paper ...
