Edible finger paint would make anyone smile

Edible finger paint is great for your kids and for the kid in all of us. While your little one is discovering his inner Picasso, you won’t have to worry about keeping his hands out of his mouth. Edible finger paint will stimulate all of her senses. The touch of the cool squishy paint, the smell and taste of the pudding, the sound of her hands smacking the paint on to her canvas and the bright colors will delight her. The only limits are his imagination and maybe nap time.

      Put 1/4 cup of pudding mix in each bowl. Add milk and stir until blended.

      Set the bowls aside for three minutes to solidify. The fingerpaint is ready to be used. Dip a finger in and start your artwork.

Tips & Warnings

  • Try sitting your little one in a bath tub in a diaper for easy clean up.

  • You can make more colors by mixing the food dyes.

  • This will stain clothes and other items like couches, carpet etc.

  • Do not use if there is a food allergy to milk

  • Because of the amount of food dye I would not recommend eating the leftovers.

  • You don't want to keep this artwork too long because of bugs.
