Edible Art for Your Child and You

January 11, 2011 by Michele

For your child:
Using a simple colouring page as your guide, very very lightly draw out the design on a clean, large piece of craft paper. For this project I chose the beautifully designed, free and downloadable crocodile colouring page by Kate of Mini-Eco. Pour out a few varieties of breakfast cereal, and let your child outline the design. Once complete, let your child eat it up.
For you:
Use the cereals to create a pretty mandala. Let the mandala arise organically without a pre-drawn design. Once complete, eat it up.

The craft paper can be saved and re-used for other projects.
Note: Thoroughly wash your hands before tackling this tasty craft!
Now do have yourself a fine day, and I’ll see you soon!

    I love this idea! The crocodile looks amazing. My oldest is obsessed with cereal… she eats two kinds at breakfast every day. She would love this!

    Eee, so pretty! That is a gorgeous croc design. Great idea – I am SO doing this! Except I'll be using m&ms.

    What a lovely idea! If they turned out as well as yours I might not want to eat them though! I guess that's what cameras are for ๐Ÿ˜‰

    My two would LOVE this ๐Ÿ™‚

    I adore this idea. I'm definitely going to try this with my art-loving, picky-eater 3 year old! I spotted this on Ohdeedoh and I linked, too, on my other blog (ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com). Hope that's OK! ๐Ÿ™‚
