Homemade Scented Finger Paints (Non-Toxic)

Sharing is caring!

Art supplies make my heart happy. There is just something freeing about taking the time, using your hands, and creating. Painting has always been my stress outlet and this love of paint has been passed onto my kids. 

Personally my favorite medium is oil…not exactly the most kid friendly medium out there. After a couple projects, a bunch of messes, and a headache or two attempting to keep the kids from taste testing the paint…because let's be honest, a toddler is going to attempt to eat it- I went on a search for non-toxic homemade finger paint recipes. And the internet was full of endless ideas. Then I found this idea for scented watercolors on Serving Pink Lemonade and fell in love. 

Homemade Scented Finger Paints

Taking this idea and mixing it with a basic flour based recipe we came up with a homemade scented finger paint idea that we all had a great time playing with!

Aren't they beautiful? I am in LOVE with them!!

We had so much fun making our Christmas cards with this paint using a vanilla extract. The kids loved using “Christmas cookie” paint to create some holiday love.
