    I use liquid tempera. Put media mixer and paint in a jar (peanut butter
    size is wonderful) I only fill half full with media mixer and then a blob or
    two of paint mix to see if the color is intense enough, adjust. I put long
    handled spoons in each jar and the children dish out a couple of tablespoons
    themselves. Or you can let them just dish out media mixer and then a color
    monitor gives each child a squirt of the desired color. This works well if
    you want a page half and half and mixed in the middle (yellow and blue or
    red and blue or red and yellow) By the way this also works beautifully with
    colored chalk. I get oodles of book covers that the classroom teachers
    don't want and they work well as finger paint paper for free (clay coated
    and white on the back side) Linda White in Norman, Ok where my daffodils
    and crocus are blooming.
