i have seen so many toddlers do creative things but i am not sure how to set it up so he won't eat it. we tried once but it ended in tears when i wouldn't let him lick his fingers. any ideas about where and how to arrange a successful finger painting session.
Pudding makes a wonderful finger paint for toddlers. You can add food color to vanilla pudding for more colors.
