I wonder if they'd be any good at printing? probably too gooshy. since they have that transparent film thing going for them, they might be fun to use for eric carle style tissue painting.

Take cardboard and cut the edge into different lines. Put the paint on the paper, hold the cardboard with the line down and pull/scrap designs.

I honestly don't use finger paints that much...the kids would rather paint their hands at the sinks while washing than use finger paints, for some reason. When I do use finger paints, I like using it for color theory and color mixing with the Kinders. I like the Eric Carle idea and the paint scraping...I've seen that on Pinterest.

Using finger paint, I had the students create their design on the back of a large lunchroom cookie sheet. (you could use ArtKat's idea) Then they made a monoprint of it. (I layed the paper on the painting and they rubbed, pulled and signed their print.
We added a construction paper landscape (foreground and middle ground) over the top of these, using them as the background.

You can do a "Starry Night"-esque painting with finger paints!
