Play With Your Food!

Yogurt painting below was a perfect introduction to finger painting for my son and years after first posting we still play grocery store in our kitchen!

Marshmallow Rainbow

Yogurt Painting

Cereal Acorn

Pretend Play Grocery Store

Strawberry Craft

Salt Art

Waffle Painting

    Another fun play with food activity: DS & I were playing Candyland while he was snacking on Fruit Loops. We placed the matching colored fruit loops on the Candyland squares! It was fun!
