If you're looking for a creative project with your little ones and want to play or draw with paints without the risk of them eating the real thing, then why not try your hand at making some edible paints? They are super easy to make, dry well, taste okay if your little munchkins decide to eat everything and are a fun way to spend an afternoon.
You only need a few ingredients; everyone can join in with the mixing process, and then you can let your creativity run wild!
Carefully open it with a can opener.
Pour the condensed milk into small bowls.
Add small amounts of food dye to the bowl.
Stir in the dye with either a small spoon, cocktail stick or lollipop stick.
Place different colour dyes into your bowls to make other colours.
Stir in and see if the colour is to your liking. Remember, less is more. You can always add in, but you can't take out, so always add small amounts of dye to the condensed milk.
Once stirred in properly, you should start to see your colours emerge. For the rose and the green colour I used colour mill dyes.
For the purple, I used my concentrated grape sugarflair dye and a cocktail stick to stir in the dye.
Most of the dyes I used were the sugarflair variety.
Once the paints are ready you can then unleash your creativity and let the fun begin!
Use sponges, paintbrushes, or your fingers, and the possibilities will be endless!
Here's how the edible paints turned out on paper. You can see that my masterpiece turned out fabulously!
It also dries well as you can stand it up, and there are no drips.
Here's where I applied it to a biscuit! My art skills are amazing! LOL!
And there you have it, another edible project that doesn't require any baking.
Enjoy and happy creating.
