Finger Painting Tip - Make Edible Paint!

I received an email recently with a tip on finger painting, which I thought I’d share

Kids can do finger painting using pudding. You just make up a batch of vanilla and separate it out into bowls adding whatever food color you choose. Then let them go to work. The little ones will always be sticking their fingers in their mouths, it might as well taste good

Thanks Kimberlyn

If Erin is okay with peanuts then on the Smile part of the Cbbc website there is a cooking with Nev section that has a recipe for edible playdough. it’s peanut butter, icing sugar and a few other bits. Very sweet, little bit more sticky than normal dough but great fun.

That’s a really good idea, edible play dough - does that mean I get out of making lunch

oh yeah, she won’t want much to eat if she munches through a batch of that! Just make sure it’s smooth peanut butter - take if from one who knows, it just doesn’t work so well with cruchy

I use jelly for painting with my son (from about 12 months old) and he loves it, gets a bit slippery but it is pretty fun!!

There is an article about it on my site: http://www.baby-patch.com/jelly.html
