Toddler Safe Edible Paint

      Well, I've seen it all over pinterest under my toddler activities... It was too beautiful of a day not to try it out. We played with 100% edible (and of course, non toxic) paint. It's unbelievably easy to make, and my toddler had a blast! I only made 3 colors, and let him pick what colors he wanted. This recipe makes about 3 2oz paint colors - which is more than enough for a toddler! It takes only 3 ingredient.... In a medium mixing bowl, take 2 cups of corn starch, 1/2 cup-1 cup of water (wisk until thoroughly combined). The consistency should be of thick paint. You can make it as thick or as think as you prefer. Then, all you need to do is to evenly seperate the mixture into 3 containers and add food coloring of choice to shade of  liking (I used styrofoam cups and plastic knives for easy disposal). I also used a large empty box for him to paint in (for easy clean up).  Best part, it's totally edible, if it gets on his clothes, it will wash right out, AND he can use it as sidewalk paint too! It will wash right off there too. We had so much fun! (If you leave it out to dry over night,
It makes a great sidewalk chalk)
