context_page_description: Fingerpaint is a kind of paint intended to be applied with the fingers; it typically comes in pots and is used by small children, though it has occasionally been used by adults either to teach art to children, or for their own use.
context_section_description: Fingerpaint is non-toxic and is usually sold in packages of six bright colors.  The paints can also be prepared from non-toxic household products such as flour or cornstarch.
  Some childcare facilities use instant pudding as fingerpaint, eliminating the need to keep the children's fingers out of their mouths.
