Neon Taste Safe Finger Paint Baby Activity

Neon Edible Finger Paint Toddler Activity www.iheartartsncrafts.com

How pretty are these neon finger paints? My kids had so much fun color mixing and drawing with these. The taste safe neon paints are perfect for babies and toddlers, who still like to sneak those little fingers in their mouth. We had our two year old and seven month old playing with these, I’m always trying to find activities that I can include both of them in. The best part is how simple this is to make, they only contain two ingredients that you may already have in your kitchen!

Edible Finger Paint Activity

Neon Taste Safe Finger Paints Baby and Toddler safe! And only two ingredients!

This post contains affiliate links. Please see my disclosure policy.

You will need:

– Greek Yogurt(Any yogurt will do this is just what we prefer to use)
– Neon Food Coloring

Mix the yogurt and a drop or two of the food coloring together to create your finger paints! Because the colors are so vibrant we only needed to add two drops to our yogurt mixture.

Edible Neon Finger Paints

To make this sensory activity less messy I used a shower curtain liner as their blank canvas so that when we were done it was easy clean up! This is a great activity to do if you’re looking to introduce finger painting to your child for the first time. Our daughter loved playing with the paint in between her fingers and making imprints with her fingers in the paint.

Because this paint is made from food items it is not meant to be stored or any of the artwork to be saved. This is more of a fun sensory activity that you can easily make in a few seconds, let the kids play, and throw away when they’re done (we prefer to do this on a shower liner as mentioned above for easy clean up)!

    Did their skin retain color? Every time I do one of these colored painting activities(any colored activity not just yours) their hands or anything the paint touches turns their skin that color.

      I never had a problem with any color staining with this activity. I had it happen with a shaving cream paint mixture that I tried from Pinterest so I haven’t tried any shaving cream paints after that! But this yogurt mixture wiped right off for us.

    that is so clever! – the kind of thing only a mmom can think up! I did not think to start finger painting yet with my 10 month old, but I guess he would already like it!

    How cool! I would have loved to do that when my kids were little. We used finger paint and the mess was nuts. I love the idea of using yogurt and a shower liner.
