a colorful playful morning

On St Patrick's Day our girls and I painted some bread for our morning toast. Cam (3yrs) had A LOT of fun with it and painted more than we could ever eat in one morning. :) Andi (18mo) enjoyed doing her first piece and then decided it was more fun to just eat the bread than paint it. :)

This really is such a fun, easy thing to do with kids in the mornings that you can do year round and they'll think you're SO much fun! Those are my favorite projects!

Fill how ever many cups you would like with a small amount of milk and add food coloring to each. Let the kids stir the milk with a popsicle stick (spoon etc) and watch it change colors! Use a baster brush (or new, unused paint brush) to "paint" your bread. (don't forget to buy white bread for this for best results) I recommend using a rubber brush if you have one...they can go from color to color and it doesn't mix. Toast bread and enjoy! For St Patricks day you can add some green dye to butter and sprinkle with "gold dust" (cinnamon).
