Tasty Playtime: Make Your Own Edible Paint at Home! 🍓🎨
Looking for a fun, safe, and sensory-rich activity for your baby or toddler? Why not turn your kitchen into a mini art studio and try homemade edible paint 🖌️– perfect for little hands (and mouths!) exploring the world.
You don’t need any special ingredients – just a peek into your cupboards or fridge!
Here are a few tasty options to get you started:
- Jams, honey, or marmalade – colourful and sticky fun
- Smooth sauces – like tomato puree or yoghurt mixed with food colouring
- Herbs and spices – cinnamon, turmeric or parsley add colour and scent
- Melted chocolate – a delicious “paint” for older toddlers
- Cream and squashed fruit – think mashed berries or blended banana!
💡 Top tip: Use a plastic plate or baking tray as your canvas – then let your little artist get creative with their fingers, brushes, or even veggie stamps!
✨ Always supervise your child during messy play, and check that any ingredients used are suitable for their age and dietary needs. Make sure everything is in date and avoid anything with choking hazards or allergens.
Happy (and tasty) painting! 🎨👶💜
