Painting with Food!

Painting with food?!

How fun is that!???! What a fun way to change things up with your kiddos and to do something completely unique! Grab various food items that you think might work, and give it a try!

We started with “roses”. We made our beautiful roses with the base of Chard plant (Bietole in Italian). The base of a celery plant will have the same effect.

Chop off the stems so that you are only left with the base.
Pour some paint in a plastic plate.
Dip your vegetable into the paint and press it down onto your paper (like you would a stamp).

Next add your rose leaves.
Cut off a few pieces of the plant and dip them in green to create your leaves!

That’s it! You’ve created roses with a celery plant!

Now for another fun idea!! A super hero picture using crackers!

Use a sturdy cracker
Dip in black paint
Create a building scape
Add a few super hero stickers and windows with paint or a yellow pen

Now let’s make a citrus painting!

Slice an orange or a lemon in half.
Dip it in paint
Press gently on your paper
Wipe between prints if you would like to change colors, or use the other half of your orange
