Kids display their artistic talent on bread instead of a canvas and then eat the results! The colors are brighter and the texture is more pleasing if the bread is lightly toasted after it is painted. It tastes great with a light glaze of applesauce or butter.

Preparation Time is only 10 minutes

What you will need

2 tablespoons (about 2 ounces) of milk for each color
Food coloring
1 slice of white bread per child (choose a hearty white bread)
Small cups (2-3 ounce)
Clean cotton swabs or brand-new paint brushes

What to do...............

CHILD STEP	Wash hands and get all the ingredients out.
CHILD/ PARENT STEP	Decide what colors you want to use for your painting.
CHILD STEP	Pour 2 tablespoons of milk into a small cup for each color. Add two drops of food coloring to each cup for red, blue, yellow and green. If children want other colors, such as purple, follow directions on the back of the food color package.
PARENT STEP	Give child a piece of bread on a plate.
CHILD STEP	Paint a picture on the slice of bread with colored milk. Draw faces, scenes, abstract designs or anything you want. Note to parents: Emphasize that this is NOT real paint!
PARENT STEP	(OPTIONAL) Lightly toast bread. Glaze with butter or applesauce if desired.
