Halloween is over for another year, and there’s a little time left before the Christmas activities begin with the kids. What should we do as the weather turns and the days are dark and wet and cold? What can we do to brighten up our days? We can make our own edible paint for kids!
To see all of the great ideas submitted, be sure to check out last week’s Mom’s Library where I focused on multicultural activities for kids.
Check out last week’s Mom’s Library featuring parenting advice as well as many other awesome ideas!
Edible Paint For Kids
Teach me Mommy shares her recipe for edible puffy paint. We must try this, we haven’t used a puffy paint yet.
Sow Sprout Play has made these Kool-Aid paints, that I’m sure smell amazing!
Fantastic Fun and Learning has an edible condensed milk paint recipe to go along with the book Fletcher and the Falling Leaves.

November 6, 2013 at 3:38 pmEdible paint!!! How awesome! My little guy will love this, but I think I’ll be giving the idea to my nanny so it can be an activity for them, do I don’t have to clean up any mess. Haha!
