| Abstract: |  At first I didn't want to play with it because it looked too gooey, admits eighteen-year-old Sa'shawn about the fingerpaint she used in her child care class, until someone from my class put it on my hand and it didn't feel as bad as it looked. Then I got started and there was no stopping me. After that, when I came to my grown-up self, I noticed that the children would love it.Rachel Theilheimer teaches child care to young adults at YALA and is an instructor of Early Childhood Education at the Borough of Manhattan Community College.
