The theme for Muffin Tin Monday this week is People and Faces, and I think I may be breaking all the rules here because there is absolutely nothing edible in our muffin pan this week. My original plan was to make pancakes and fill the muffin cups with foods that could turn the pancakes into faces, but then I found a recipe for homemade face paint and I just had to try it.
Directions:
- In each muffin cup put: 1 tsp cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon water (I used a little more), 1/2 teaspoon baby lotion or whatever you use on your children (something mild), and 2 drops food coloring
- Stir gently using separate stirrers in each cup so that you don't mix colors
- Paint your face, hand, belly, or entire body! We had a lot of fun with this. The paint spreads easily and washes off with soap and water.
*This recipe can be found in the cookbook, Fun with Kids in the Kitchen by Judi Rogers. To see how other people filled their muffin tins, visit Her Cup Overfloweth.

That is awesome! My boys would go crazy for that! Love that it's not edible, it's fun to mix things up.
Oh my goodness, that looks like a great time! I did something similar once with some kids I babysat for, and one of the boys drew this giant mustache on his face, and a huge uni-brow. I still crack up every time I think of it!

I bookmarked this post as something to try next week when we are back. I suspect that Anna will have a huge fun with it.
Just found your blog, and will be coming back. Great ideas and a wonderful family!
