Edible Finger Paint

 Making Edible Finger Paint
 Messy Play:
Edible finger paint

What you need:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Food coloring

 We love the neon food color dyes for projects like these.

 Drop a few color drops in and let the kiddos mix away.

 And of course, it's edible.  Quite tasty too.


 Both the girls loved this activity.  Fluttershy was into drawing designs in the paint 
she had spread on the paper.  And Rarity loved dipping her hands in the 
paint and letting it drip on her fingertips.  Eventually she started mixing the 
pain on the paper after after watching how Fluttershy was mixing hers.

I loved the colors and how vibrant they were.  Very pretty

After the girls were done making their masterpieces I decided to try pouring the 
remaining pain onto a clear platter.  Of course this was a bit hit as a sensory activity. Mixing and swirling.  Then of course eventually smearing all over the counter top.  BIG Sticky messIt was worth it for the fun they had.


Today's inspiration came from playathomemom3.  I was so excited when I saw this done here and knew we had to try it.

Discuss: What part of our body do we use to smell? Talk about the nose and the job it performs. You may also wish to discuss how animals use their noses to find food.  (Idea from Tripod)

Activity:  Using different items in your refrigerator, pantry, and bathroom, discuss the smell using words like sour, sweet, etc.  Have your child close her eyes or use a blindfold and guess the item that she smells (lemon juice, milk, applesauce, rubbing alcohol, mouthwash, etc.).
