My kids, like most, love painting. They also love popcorn. Where can I be going with this? Well, why not combine the two activities by painting popcorn! This kids activity is simple to prepare and keeps kids busy so that they will slow down and really chew their popcorn. We have also had fun with food by making yogurt covered berries on a stick and Marshmallow Sculptures.
If you are interested in purchasing supplies for this activity, affiliate links are located at the end of this post.
You will need:
- Popcorn
- Food coloring
- Milk
- Marshmallows
- Paint brush
Okay, so you don't need the marshmallows, but they are another fun thing that kids can paint so I threw them in there. I mixed some food coloring with regular milk and placed the different colors in a muffin tin. I provided the kids with popcorn, marshmallows and a paintbrush and let them paint away.
For more yummy popcorn kids will love, try Birthday Cake Popcorn:
