My group had assigned me "Apply it"
Define it: Finger paint is paint that is intended to be applied with your fingers. If you Google finger paint one of the first things that come up is eatable finger paint recipes. It is fairly easy to make and is easy to clean up. You can also buy it from any craft store. This product is geared toward children so it is washable and non-toxic. It comes in all colors and sizes.
Finger paint is a paint that comes in many different colors and is used for decorating many different things. It can also be used in many different ways as well. Although most people apply it to the fingers before painting on whatever they choose, some use many different parts of their body as well. It can be used on mostly anything, from newspapers to walls, to practically anything.
Finger paint is made of non-toxic pigments and other goop that is safe for kids to eat, because if there's one thing that kids like to eat more than white school paste, it's finger paint. The darker the color, the more they like it--in their mouths, on their clothes, on the furniture. Once you have spread down lots of newspaper or drop clothes, you open the lids, give the kids some sheets of paper (or whatever you are o.k. with them getting colored goop on), and tell 'em to "go for it!" In my experience, this is where the fun starts: first they test it by sticking their fingers into the jars, and then they smell it, often getting some on the outside of their noses (and sometimes on the inside too). Once they've done that, the next step is to rub some onto the paper. This is then followed by smearing some of it on their face, their clothes, the drop cloth--whatever isn't covered up--and sometime even on what's been carefully covered up. Often, this is followed by more exuberant experimentation, such as deliberately painting their faces, or even other people's face, and even those of other people who don't want their faces smeared with dark red and green goop. There are many other steps that may follow, but the last one is usually a trip to Urgent Care, because someone gets sick from eating it, sticks some up their nose, or slips on the drop cloth and sprains an ankle.
Hide your most cherished items, furniture, carpets and pets! Out there in the darkness lurks a terrifying menace. This menace is known only as finger paints. The seemingly fun activity for children is one of the most destructive forces in nature. Sure it seems like fun, open a tube of your favorite color, dab your finger in it and go nuts. Your imagination is truly free so is your child’s. Giving them paper to paint on will only be a short deterrent! After the child has finished painting his or her puppy, kitty, or stick figure painting, the fun quickly moves to grim places. I’m talking about your expensive furniture or that t-shirt you got at a concert when you were in high school. With my daughter on the way I know that she will want to play with this fiendish creation so I have thrown all of my possessions away now, to spare me the horror and heartbreak of the inevitable future. I advise all of you to do the same.
