safe finger paint?

Question

What is a safe brand of finger paint for babies? We have a 5 month old and we were wanting to let her experience a safe finger paint. I've seen homemade recipes that call for food coloring but I know sometimes that can stain. Any recommendations?

Answer

With a baby that young, I would do the food coloring because of the high chance of them sticking their fingers in their mouth. Or the "no mess" finger painting thing with a ziploc bag.

Answer

Food coloring will definitely stain, and even the safe paints I wouldn't trust since 5 month olds tend to stick anything and everything in their mouths, especially since baby's skin is just extra sensitive. I'd try maybe putting some safe paints in plastic bags and letting her squish them around while they are flat. She'll probably love the colors and the texture of the paint in the ziplock will be entertaining to her! My sister sets her 6 month old son up with that while her older boys (who are 3 & 4) do the actual finger painting. You could even put just a few drops in with a piece of paper and let her smoosh the colors around and create little baby art lol

Answer

We've actually done the ziploc back baby art! I guess we will just do a hand print and feet prints. We wanted to some paint on a pumpkin for her first Halloween 🎃
