Is your child into snacks?
If you answered yes to these questions then consider this recipe my 10-minute gift to you. Seriously, get the kiddos set up and let them channel their inner artist and foodie while you close your eyes, make a list, cross items off your list, online shop, check Facebook…you get the idea! Or, join in because I think I had just as much fun – if not more fun – than the girls making this edible paint and colorful toast.

Turn Toast Into a Teaching Tool
We’re all playing teacher these days so use this recipe as a teaching tool. Thanks to Mrs. Buttrey’s, Frances’s Kindergarten teacher, for inspiring this recipe.
Here are a few ideas:
- Discuss fractions while dividing milk into cups.
- Discuss role of milk in the body.
- Practice counting to 3 (for our little kiddos) while dropping colors into milk.
- Discuss primary and secondary colors while making “edible paint.”
- Discuss role of grains in the body.
- Connect toast painting with a topic they are learning about in school (ie. nature, bird, bunny, etc.).
- Allow children to set the thermometer on the oven.
