keep 'em busy projects.... edible paint!

Okay, so its summertime and I have two very busy little girls, who get bored very fast.  We have done every activity under the sun.... and today I am going to share one with you that I LOVED. (because it was super easy, kept them busy for awhile, and I already had all the stuff right in my kitchen when I decided to do this.)


EDIBLE PAINT FOR A "KEEP-'EM-BUSY" CRAFT

all you need:
yogurt (I used vanilla since its a good base for making colors)
food coloring
cupcake pan *optional*

I used some vanilla low fat yogurt and Wilton food colors. I <3 the colors that come in this set... magenta, turquoise, purple, and orange.

We got all of our ingredients together in the kitchen and I let my 3 year old start putting the yogurt in the cupcake pan.....

Then, I added small drops of food coloring to each of our "yogurt cups".....

I let Gianna mix them up and play around with mixing colors..... (another little educational part of this fun little project)



We finished mixing the colors and set up in the dining room. I have a black dining room table that sometimes is used for crafts and so I don't mind getting a little messy in there, but I definatly would not recommend doing this anywhere around carpet or anything you don't want to get messy.  Come on, its bound to happen! 

My littlest really enjoyed this also. She painted two pictures and then ended up like this.....She loved the "edible" part of this project!

We had fun.  They loved it.  And it was EASY for mama.   Try it!
