We had two activities on our summer bucket list focused around art. This was our second one of the summer. Our first was edible bath paint which you can read about here. Between the two, I think Izzy enjoyed this one more. We started out by dividing up a can of sweetened condensed milk into the individual wells of an ice cube tray. Then I let Izzy watch me dye the milk into each color of the rainbow and we talked about colors and how they can mix together to make other colors. After our paint was all ready to go, we got to work. We both painted our own pictures so I could let Izzy watch me color mine and get a better idea of what to do for his. Although he did get some paint on his paper, most of it ended up on him. Luckily I laid out some towels for us to sit on while painting otherwise a lot more of it would have gotten our floors. After a while things were getting a little too messy to be safe to play in the kitchen anymore, so we finished up in the bath tub and gave him a quick rinse off after we were done. While sweetened condensed milk is super sticky and therefore harder to clean up than our edible bath paint was, it still wasn't too bad and we were done with cleanup within a matter of minutes. And we got these beautiful paintings out of the deal. Not too shabby :) Cost: $1

AuthorHi! My name is Cassity and I am the mom to a little 2 year old boy named Izzy and a baby girl named Sydney. I am lucky enough to get to be a stay-at-home mom to them and we have fun thinking of new activities to do together in the afternoons. We created this blog as an opportunity to share those activities with you. Archives
