Edible Fingerpaint Recipe
My kids aren't toddlers anymore, but still LOVE this activity…and it tastes good too. After School when they are ready for a snack/treat we have done this…and during the Summer it is a regular activity. It's super easy to do.
Pudding Fingerpaint
Now this isn't an ad for Snack pack pudding cups….but this is the EASIEST and cheapest way to make edible fingerpaints.
You can make homemade vanilla pudding too. We seriously don't have time for that. Grab a pack or two (each has 4 and that is enough for 1 session), and you will need some food coloring.
Yes….this is seriously how easy it is. about 4 drops of color in each one, stir, and fingerpaint away.
It isn't great if you get it on clothing, but if you spray it right away and throw their clothes in the wash it is usually ok.
We throw a large shirt of mine we don't care about over their shirt so we don't have to worry about that.
Edible Arts and Crafts
Usually we mix the top half with coloring so it is brilliantly colored. By the time they use that half to paint they are usually ready to eat the rest so it's all good. You can mix it entirely if you'd rather.
It does come out nicely and they have a great time creating things….and then eating the rest. wash with soap and water when you're done and they'll love you for this simple to do activity!
So….this is how you make edible fingerpaint. We hope you have a great time doing this with your kids too.
