Finding Dory Activity: Mess Free Finger Painting

Kids love to make messes (it’s what they do!) and moms get tired of cleaning them up BUT this activity provides a solution! This Finding Dory Activity provides mess free finger painting which means that it’s a win/win for both moms and kids!

The kids will love the squishy icky feel of the “paint” and moms will love the fact that it’s all contained right inside the ziploc, so no mess to clean up. This might even be a fun activity for Finding Dory themed parties or also for sensory play.

Large or small ziplock bag
Painters tape
Shaving cream
Blue food coloring
Sharpies: black, blue, yellow, green, and red
Dory coloring book (optional)
