The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

 

Materials Needed:

  • Household Cardboard, Finger painting Paper, or Cookie Sheets
  • Instant Pudding - Whatever Colors/Flavors You Want

Instructions:
Mix up the instant pudding as directed on the package, and let it set as per the directions. Once it is set, you can use it just like you would use finger paints!

Use it on finger painting paper, household cardboard (like from cereal boxes), or you can even finger paint on a cookie sheet. For extra fun you can cut out specific shapes from cardboard.
