Drinking Blue Milk

Activity: Painting Toast

This is a fun activity which I used to do with the three oldest of my four darling daughters.  It's fun and silly and as I thought more about it I realized that the best part is that it can be a stress reliever in two different ways.

So if you follow my blogs you know that painting is a great stress reliever for me...well so is eating, lol!  Even though it isn't politically correct to admit that, it is totally true!

Sadie must be really stressed, she is trying to eat the bread and paint it at the same time!

Here's the "recipe"

Toast Painting:

Milk
small cups
food coloring
clean unused paint brush
bread

Pour a small amount of milk in a few small bowls.  Add a drop of food coloring in each cup of milk.  Stir the colored milk with the paint brush. Paint on any design you would like.

Next you can toast the bread.  This really brings out the color.  Sadie chose not to wait so we painted two pieces, one to eat and one to toast/eat.

The toast is in sideways because Sadie ended up taking a bite out of this one too!

Looks good enough to eat!

At least Sadie thinks so.

Sadie decided she wanted to paint the milk on paper too!

Mixing colors!  Nice pouring!

Splash Painting...literally! (Love the chubby toddler hands!)

Milk is milk I guess, even if it's blue!!

Sadie looks pretty stress-free now...painting and eating.  A great combination!
