Do you ever have one of those days when you read about a creative idea someone had and you just have to do it right away? Katherine inspired me so much with her popcorn painting and beautiful photos, that 15 minutes after I read her post, the snacks were ready to be painted!
This edible paint is milk and neon food coloring. Katherine used sweet evaporated milk, but that was not to be found in my pantry, so regular milk it was! I also thought marshmallows would make it an even sweeter activity:-)
My daughter had a blast. You know it’s serious stuff when you stick your tongue out while painting!
Forget Easter eggs, we’re painting marshmallows!
My attempt at painting her face. It was hysterical to her, but even more fun to eat!
Pull out the food coloring and try it!
Visit Katherine Marie Photography’s site for more popcorn fun.
My son is going to freak out over this one!!

What a great idea, Amy! I love it! I think Anja might get confused between the “special, edible” paint and normal paint, but I’m willing to take that chance…

My daughter wanted to color eggs the other day, this is a wonderful substitute as it will get eaten quicker then the hardboiled eggs.

Beautiful photography but how can you miss with such a sweet subject. I’m talkin’ daughter here, but the popcorn and marshmallows are cute too.

I wish I’d known to do this when my kids were little–what a cute idea. (Almost as cute as your daughter!)
One thing we used to do is use food coloring and clean brushes to paint bread–then we toasted it. So you got to eat colorful toast! I wonder if your milk recipe would work for this idea, too?
