Rainbow Painted Toast Activity 

Once you have made your edible paint from milk and food colouring set it out on a table with a new paint brush for each colour. Make sure that you don't use paintbrushes that have previously been used for painting. 

Place a piece of bread on a plate and invite your child to come and do some bread painting! They can really used their imaginations. They could paint a rainbow, add dots, make marks or do a design of their own. 

When you have finished painting your rainbow designs pop your bread into the toaster for a minute or two and your painted rainbow toast is ready for eating! 

When toasting check every 30 seconds or so to check it is not burning.

We have done this activity so many times and it always makes the kids smile. At aged 3 when we did this painted toast activity for the first time Harry excitedly told me the rainbow tasted yummy! Its amazing how adding bit of colour can make bread suddenly seem exciting! What exciting rainbow designs will you come up with?
