Mashed Potato Painting

Mashed Potato Painting:

I have seen several different edible paint ideas (colored yogurt, colored pudding...) but this was one that didn't involve any sugar. Since my little guy is hyper enough on his own, I appreciated the fact that this activity didn't have any sugar but was also safe for him to chow down on.

All you need for this activity is instant mashed potatoes and food coloring. Mix several small bowls of mashed potatoes with whatever color you'd like and let the painting/snacking begin! My son had a blast with this. The whole time he would paint a little, eat a little, while continuing to exclaim: "mmm....tatoes!"
