Toddler Sensory Kids Acttivity Edible PaintI am always trying to find unique, fun ideas to get my kids to explore with their senses – a great way to form brain pathways that are going to allow them to learn over their life – plus it is just plain FUN!!
I originally saw the idea for this edible finger paint from Enjoying the Journey.

It is super simple – just pour some shaken sweetened condensed milk in small bowls. Add food coloring (I used my Wilton decorating colors because that is what we had on hand). One can will give you 4 small bowls. We used 2 cans partly because we had two cans laying around and partly because I think big & was imagining all the fun colors to paint with =-)

Now comes the squishy, sensory, beautiful FUN!!  My baby, preschooler, and 1st grader all had a BLAST! They made some actual finger paintings.

The edible finger paint will dry on the paper after a couple hours. Although I don’t know that this is one for the memory books. Better let the experience and pictures be your keepsake. Edible Finger Paint Art My baby enjoyed mixing the colors with her fingers best of all.

Then my baby discovered the edible part – and it tasted pretty good too =-)

I LOVE this season of life when I have little kiddos at home! Their sweet smiles, laughter, curiosity, endless cuddles, and even the messes (mostly!). I am truly blessed!

  3. I'm curious as to how it holds up/dries. We've done edible paints before and they never seem to hold up well or stay wet forever then the 2yo asks where her paintings went!

  4. Kelley,

    It was a lot of sensory, color, playful fun. But I wouldn't want to keep the sticky creations. We took pictures of them and I made prints for my kids to hang in their room.
