Coming up with ways to entertain kids that doesn’t involve screens…. that’s a big job! One day while my son and I were bored, we got the idea from YouTube to make some edible finger paints with instant pudding mix. I have to say, it was a really fun and easy craft that I’d totally try again!

Want to give pudding paint a try? You’ll need…

Food coloring

Instant pudding mix (flavor doesn’t matter, but choose a light color)

Milk

Small bowls or a muffin tin

Paper or canvas to paint on

Fingers, paint brushes or cotton swabs (depending on how messy your kids like to be)

Step One:

Mix up the pudding in a bowl according to the directions on the package. The pudding should firm up in the fridge before you start the next step of coloring it.

Step Two:

Use a 12-cup muffin tin or small containers to divide the pudding into smaller batches for your paints. Add a few drops of food coloring to each cup and let your child mix the pudding paints. Don’t be surprised if several turn out a shade or brown!

Step Three:

Using your fingers, a cotton swab, or paintbrush, dip into the edible pudding paints and create a masterpiece!

We had a lot of fun with this painting project. Making pudding paint is much cheaper than buying fingerpaint, and the clean-up was pretty easy! You could also take the entire project outside to avoid a messy kitchen.

Have you ever made your own edible finger paints? What’s your go-to art project for preschool-age kids?

I’m a Baby Lock ambassador and Stash Books author who loves writing modern sewing and quilt patterns for beginners and weekend sewists! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana with my husband, son, and two loveable cats, Murph and Chloe. I’ve been crafting for as long as I can remember. As a kid, I saved my dollar bills for trips with my mom to Jo-Ann Fabrics, where I’d find new floss for friendship bracelets or mini cross-stitch kits. Because my mom has always shared my love for crafting, she bought me my first sewing machine, a Hello Kitty Janome.
