BABY'S FIRST TASTE SAFE PAINT

TASTE SAFE PAINT RECIPE

You know I love myself some taste safe recipes.

Let me give you a little background on how we got to this taste safe paint recipe. When Nicky was a baby she didn’t like to eat so making taste safe paint was easy. I mixed yogurt with food coloring and that was it. She didn’t eat so she painted well. Fast forward to Emma who loves food and I make the same mixture except she eats it all. So I had to adjust the recipe to not make it so tasty, so that it is taste safe if babies try it, but not yummy to eat it all.

It makes for the best first paint for babies. Also, great if you run out of paint and have these ingredients on hand, you just whip them out and you have yourself a fun baby activity!

Just because it’s taste safe, it doesn’t mean it’s edible paint. And you must bake the flour at 300 degrees for 10 minutes to make it safer for younger ones in case they taste it. Wait for it to cool down before preparing the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

  1. 1/4 cup salt

  2. 1/2 cup flour

  3. 1/2 cup water

  4. Food coloring

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl.

  2. Add a few drops of food coloring to the water. Pour into the flour and salt mixture.

  3. Whip well until and the clumps dissolve.

You can add more or less water depending on the consistency you desire.

Store in the refrigerator. Can keep for 6 months or so.
