Painting on toast and even rice cakes have been featured on two of my favorite blogs Make and Takes and Mom Tried It but I had never tried the fun craft until today. My son only wants one thing for breakfast these days, waffles. When I was looking at them today I thought, I wonder if I could paint on them too? Oh and if I used a cookie cutter they could be Easter eggs! The Easter waffles were such a hit we used up all our waffles.
- Gather your materials. You will need some food coloring, milk, a paint brush, waffles (lightly toasted), and an Easter egg cookie cutter.
- Mix your food coloring with a splash of milk. Remember, you don’t need much!
- Cut the waffle into the shape of the egg.
- Start painting.
- I made stripes. My son was more free form.
- Toast and serve!
- Eat.
- I have to show you what a hit this was. After he ate the first two Easter waffles, he made a third – and ate it, too. My kid doesn’t eat that much, so this was a feast for him!

Wonderful ideas! Will definitely try it!
Stacey says
I love this idea! We will definitely be doing this! Quick question – Do you toast the waffles and then toast them again after painting them? Thanks!

Stacy I toasted them lightly so they weren’t too soggy, then toasted lightly again- brings out the colors!

My son has been sick for weeks and not eatting. Did this yesterday and viola…he ate his waffle. Told the pedi about it too and she was LOVED the idea…very novel! 🙂
With the weather starting to become nice again, do you have any outdoor actvities/crafts coming up? We chalk and blow bubbles and do your typical outdoor games, but wanted to know if you have anything up your sleeve that is your typical “out of the box” learning activities you keep coming up with?
Thanks!

We did a painting activity a few weeks ago. I should have painted the actual waffles, instead we dyed the syrup! The kids had a blast and I was amazed that they actually used less syrup!

“First the Egg†and “One Boy†by Layra Viccaro Seegar are my daughter’s two favorite books. She loves to “read” these out loud. I love the illustrations and the very subtle interplay between word phonemes, cut-out shapes, and before-after concepts.
