Fun With Food!

Here is an idea to entertain and feed your kids at the same time. Yesterday when Caroline and RoyBoy woke up from their naps, I had this waiting for them:




Pudding Paint! It was fun and EASY. I just pulled things I had from my pantry: Instant Vanilla Pudding, M&M's, Marshmallows and Jelly Beans. I gave them a sheet of wax paper and dropped a spoonful of pudding on top and let them use the pudding as paint to draw an edible picture. The candy was for decorations! They loved it and it took up about 20 minutes so I was able to get some things done in the kitchen in peace!!

Cute idea. Now was this jello pudding sugar free? Roy Austin is looking so tall in his highchair. What a handsome boy!

You are BRAVE! Your kids are lucky to have you plan all these fun things! :) And you let them do this with their nice outfits on? If I would have ever dared to do this with Adam I would have stripped him naked and made him do it outside.
