Two Ingredient Edible Finger Paint

Activities for Kids

With younger children, it’s hard to find a fun and safe craft to do with them. It is such a worry as to what they are going to put into their mouths that we sort of panic and think crafts are impossible until they are older. If this sounds like your life at all, then this Two Ingredient Edible Finger Paint is the perfect craft to do with your child!

Edible Finger Paint - with just two common ingredients, you can make this fun activity anytime for your busy toddler and not worry if they eat it!

This edible finger paint activity is colorful, fun, and only requires 2 ingredients that you most likely already have on hand. The best part is, it’s completely edible which means it’s safe for your little ones. You can put them in their highchairs with this paint and let their imaginations be the only limit to what they can create.

  3. Stir well until all the food coloring is blended into the yogurt. Tip: use the side of your popsicle stick to scrape the sides of the jar so you can evenly color the yogurt.

  2. I think this is great! Most people use pudding, but making it with yogurt is so much healthier for when the kids eat it. And they WILL eat it.
