I mixed up as much body paint as I could* and set the kids free to paint themselves.
It's interesting to see who likes to be messy and who doesn't. Some of our friends don't want to be messy at all. Some like controlled messes. And others? There couldn't be enough mess for some kids.
Our neighbor brought out the sprinkler to clean the paint off, probably a good thing since the food coloring I'd used to make the paint was starting to seep into our skin. One mom left with a distinctly bruised-looking face. I realized later that I'd gone to run a few errands with weird purple and green streaks down my legs.
*I used all of our cornstarch, a fact I sadly realized later when I wrote down the recipe for these. Bummer!
