Kids activity: edible paint

Do you have a blossoming artist at home that loves to paint and create buuuuut is still in the stage of putting everything in their mouth?! We made edible paint and it was a huge hit for both the baby and the toddler!

Here’s what you need:

🎨flour

🎨water

🎨salt

🎨paper

🎨paint brushes (optional)

Here’s what you do:

🎨 whisk 1 cup of flour, 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt in a sauce pan over medium heat until it begins to thicken. Remove from heat and divvy up into cups.

🎨 add food coloring, any color of your choice, to your flour mixture. For older kiddos, this is a good opportunity to play with color combinations and make this a little bit of a learning activity

🎨 roll out a large piece of butcher paper or any paper you choose and let the kids go to town.

Pro tip, strip them naked before they get started and plan to do a bath as soon as they’re done. It’s washable, depending on your food coloring but this is a messy activity no doubt.
