Inside this post I share the coolest St. Patrick’s Day snack! It’s rainbow toast for kids! It’s quick to make and delicious too!
What’s a fun St. Patrick’s day food to make? Try rainbow toast!
We were introduced to painted toast a few years ago and I’ve been dying to do it again! I finally tried it with my weekly toddler & preschooler class and the bread painting was a HIT!
I mean… how cool is it to actually get to PAINT your food?!
The kids were a little skeptical that Miss Kristina was inviting them to do something bad and kept asking if it was ok to eat the paint! When I showed them how I made it they were relieved and excited to CREATE and EAT their rainbow creations. They loved mixing colors too!
Preschoolers and toddlers love snacktivities!
Some kids tasted it. Some kids were hesitant. Some kids ate the whole thing.
All of them had a fun hands-on snacktivity time! I had to join in and make my own too! It looked so cool.
