Vanilla instant pudding
Shelf paper
Food coloring
Small bowls
Mixing spoons

Mix the instant pudding according to directions. Divide up into 2 or 3 small bowls. Add a different food color to each bowl and stir until blended. Spread out some shelf paper and proceed to use the pudding mix as your child would use finger paints. Create patterns and pictures with the different colors. When your child's hands get messy, she or he can lick them clean.
