Kids love to finger paint, but I’m the first to admit that it can be a mess. And then there’s the issue of the kids eating the paint. Even if the paints are nontoxic, it’s not cool having your kids ingest that stuff. So what’s the solution? Let them paint with pudding! Seriously. In fact, you don’t need different flavors to make different colors. Just use one serving of plain vanilla pudding, divide it up into small portions, and add food coloring to create various shades. Then all you have to do is give your child a paper plate to use as a canvas for her masterpiece. And the best part: When the kids are done, they can eat it with no worries. Yummmmm. Have a Happy and Safe New Year!
