How do I get it off?
I gave the girls frozen berries at lunch and they are now stuck with purple fingers and faces. It wouldn't wash off with soap and water, lol!

Soak their fingertips in the juice of a fresh lemon. You can either squeeze the juice into a shallow bowl to soak their fingers in, or you can try soaking them directly in the lemon. Just soak for a few minutes then, sprinkle a little salt on their hands and wash with warm soapy water. You may need to try this a few times to remove the stains.
You can also try raw potato juice. Rub the cut side of a raw potato on their fingers, and then wash their hands in warm, soapy water. ETA I'd try the potato on their faces before the lemon -------------
