i set Miss B up in her highchair, and i have these paint sponge pad things that u buy from an art and craft place and i put her hand in it and she does hand prints etc on the paper
Than when she got a little bit older i would put paint blobs on the paper and let her put her hands and fingers thru it! she loves it - makes a mess but is soooo much fun!
Sounds to me like Georgia would be fine with finger food now also - i was very weary of it when i started Bianca and i got one of those feeding mesh things, they hold them themselves and u put the fruit or whatever in it and they suck it out thru the mesh - i thought they were fantastic! no choking!
Hj i was looking at those mesh things the other day may have to get myself one I think.
Did Miss B try to eat the paint. I have a recipe for finger paint made from corn flour sugar, water and food colouring - would this be ok - sorry if I sound dumb asking these questions.
It is non toxic paint so if she did try and eat it i guess it wouldnt of been soo bad - but no she didnt try and if she looked like her hands were going to head to her mouth i just moved them away!
U dont sound dumb for asking questions so ask away! better to be safe than sorry i say!
and that paint sounds like a good idea, can i have the recipe??? i'd look at it this way its not as if they are going to eat a whole heap of it, so i think it would be fine! and u sit with them and supervise anyway so u can stop those little hands from going to the mouth!
Just make sure u have everything near by when u set up to do it - like have a bowl with warm water and a washer to clean those hands as soon as the paintings are done etc....
1/2 cup cornflour
2 tbls white sugar
2 cups cold water
food colouring
Combining all the ingredients in a saucepan
stir constantly over a low to medium heat until the mixture boils and thickens, then allow to cool
pour into little containers and add a variety of edible food colouring
you can start the finger food from 6 months, just be carful and keep an eye on her, you can do steamed sticks of vegies, cruskits, fruit (not apple) my ds loved cucumber.. the possibilities are endless.
