The paint is made from two tablespoons of milk (soy milk at my house) and about 4 drops of food coloring. (I don't have anything against red food coloring (although some do); we just didn't have any in the house.)
Using clean paintbrushes, the boys painted their toast!
Their finished masterpieces:
(Will asked me to cut off the crust before he ate it. I've found that if I cut off the crust he actually eats more of his bread than if I don't.)Cleaning up after the project:
Check out more paintings at Unplug Your Kids and join us next week for Sticky.

very fun indeed!
What a GREAT idea!!! I am definitely going to have to do that. Do you like the Toddler Busy Book? I have had the Preschool busy book in my amazon cart for a few days, but haven't decided whether to get it or not. Do you enjoy the one ya'll have? Is it worth the money?
So much fun!
I have the kids paint sugar cookies with a milk/confectioners sugar glaze.
They LOVE doing it.
Totally GREAT activity, but I couldn't eat blue toast.
very good idea i will have to try that with my little brother.
Oh Neat! Thanks for sharing a fun idea. We'll have to try it.
That looks like a neat idea. We will have to try that too!
blue toast! a wonderful addition to green eggs & ham :)
Neat idea . . . I wonder if you could substitute the food color with grape jelly or another color - maybe even fruit juice.
(The color idea is great, but I have to be a fuddy duddy because two of my boys are sensitive to food coloring - it makes me crazy at times, I find I have to think harder to find a substitute.)
What consistency should the "paint" be to make this work?
Monster toast is what we did for our "painting" too! How fun!!
This idea crossed my mind for painting too - another one I've been meaning to try. Looks like you had a lot of fun!
Oh, my little P used to love that..I didn't have a pic still on the computer to post today. So much fun!!
This looks like a great little "project." My son loves toast. We will try it and report back! ; )
(that is if I remember!!)
That looks like so much fun. I know my three would love it! I like the "clean-up photos!"
BTW, I know what you mean about crusts and them eating more without. What is it about kids and crusts?
Enjoy your evening and thanks for joining us!
What a yummy project! I wonder if it would work on tortillas? They actually sell crustless loaves here in Taiwan...
You're such a cool mom. :)
How fun! Thanks for sharing!
Very cool!
