I plan on making Painted Toast as part of our Art lesson this week. We made it many months ago and the boys loved it. My mom taught me how to do this project when I was young. It's super easy and yummy for the kiddos!
First, pour small amounts of milk into several small bowls. Add food coloring to the milk, making several different colors. Lay out slices of bread on plates or cookie sheets. Have the child use a clean paint brush to apply the "paint" (colored milk) to the bread, making a beautiful masterpiece. Before the bread is too soggy, place it in the toaster, and eat it!

I suppose you may need to stress that it's only milk, not paint... and that we don't eat real paint. My boys watched me pour the milk and they know we don't eat paint, so I skipped the lecture. My 2 year old did, however, move beyond the boundaries of his toast & decided to do a bit of body painting. :)
