I love the idea of letting my kids paint outside, but I’m still trying to wash the finger paint out of the concrete patio from our last attempt at plein air painting. This recipe for homemade paint from Repeat Crafter Me is designed for messy and artistic use outdoors. It uses ingredients you have around the house, such as flour and dish soap, and won’t make a permanent splotch on your patio.
