Cut out the heart, then remove the wax paper backing for a heart sticker. Press onto the white area of your canvas.⁣ ⁣ Prepare the homemade finger paint by mixing the water, cornstarch, and Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar in a small saucepan on medium heat. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat immediately.⁣ ⁣ Divide into small bowls and add 1-2 drops of food coloring to each bowl, mixing well to distribute the colors.⁣ ⁣ Once the paint has cooled, have your child dip their finger into the paint and press the fingerprint onto the canvas, all around the heart. You can have them fill up the canvas or just do an outline of the heart.⁣ ⁣ When the finger paint has dried, remove the painter’s tape heart and you will have a one-of-a-kind gift that moms will adore!⁣ ⁣ ⁣
