I’ve been wanting to let Brielle paint for a bit and letting her do it for her Father’s Day gift seemed perfect! I got a big mat that goes in a frame and had her “paint” it. š I had to make sure it was edible but most of the recipes I found were yogurt based which did not dry very well or used jell-o mix which stained her…hello my tiny Smurfette! I finally ended up using cornstarch, water and food coloring (see recipe below). The paint didn’t dry as vibrant as I was hoping but it dried well, didn’t stain her skin and WAS edible as you can see. She loved having little samples of it while she worked and just couldn’t understand why I kept politely declining when she tried offering some to me. It was a ton of fun, she had a blast making a mess and my husband loved that he got something she made for him!
