Easiest Edible Finger Paint

We looove to have a project especially when it's a little chilly to play outside (will summer ever come?). We found this easy recipe for edible finger paint and I think I had as much fun eating and painting as my four year old {ha ha}.

All you need is light corn syrup and food coloring!!! We used one tbs of syrup per bowl and 2-3 drops of color.I was even more excited when I realized that it dried and was still really shiny! I know what you are thinking "the things that excite her" but hey it's the little thing in life right?

    I'd be afraid to use this for real young kids that it may mislead them to believe any paint is edible. Does it taste good?

    Congrats on your SITS day!

    Awesome! Thanks for this! My son is only 15 months old, so he loves getting his hands in things like this, but then he also loves getting his hands in his mouth, so this is perfect!
