Edible Finger Painting for Babies and Toddlers

Looking for non-toxic Edible Finger Paint for the just in case moment. Here’s a solution that my kids loved doing together as a sibling activity. Plus it’s a fun sensory activity for the baby too. 

There are so many benefits of Finger Painting so let’s get started!

Finger Painting Helps to Develop

• Eye Hand Coordination
• Sensory Integration
• Color Mixing
• Fine Moter Skills

The biggest thing I’d like to stress is that art with children is about the PROCESS and not necessarily the product.

I was inspired and thought I would do an activity that both my 5 year old and 1 year old could do together. Finding sibling activities for them to do together is not always a simple task so I figured I’d share it with you.

To begin with my 5 year old wanted to make the banana pudding by herself. She measured  the milk and wisked away with a timer that she set. We love cooking together and she’s really become very good at it.  We have a whole series of Little Hands That Cook I invite you to check it out! 

Once the pudding was ready we put a little plant based food coloring in half of it so that we could work with two colors. I think it’s important with figure painting for their eyes to see the contrast.

Here’s what our afternoon of Finger painting Fun looked like with my two girls…
