We had so much fun with this condensed milk painting. The edible paint produces beautiful glossy art. Your kids will love the end results and the process to get there!Condensed Milk Painting #sensoryplay #kidsactivities #sensoryplayrecipesCondensed milk paint was something I stumbled upon. A week or so ago, I opened up a can of condensed milk for a recipe only to discover that the recipe actually called for evaporated milk!

This left me with an opened can of condensed milk sitting in my fridge. I was going to just throw it out until I came across an idea to do condensed milk painting!

Making this edible paint is so easy.

Condensed Milk Paint Recipe:

  • 300 mL can sweetened condensed milk (10 oz.)
  • food colouring
  • ice cube tray
  • toothpicks (optional)

Fill an ice cube tray with condensed milk and colour with food colouring. You only need one or two drops of food colouring in each cube. Use toothpicks to stir them. Use paintbrushes (or fingers) to paint on paper. You can use regular paper, card stock, or fingerpaint paper.

This edible paint recipe is included in the Sensory Play Recipes eBook. You’ll find so many easy sensory ideas inside. You can get a free sample using the form below.

My kids really enjoyed using this paint to create pictures. The pictures turned out so well. The paint gave a shiny, glossy finish. The kids were really pleased with the cool effect of that.

Even after the paint dries, it maintains its shiny look.

Each of the kids wanted to try tasting the paint. Snuggle Puppy ate almost as much as he painted with! Condensed milk painting is a simple sensory activity. It creates a visual, tactile and gustatory (taste) sensory experience.

I love suggesting this activity to other moms because most people already have the ingredients needed in their kitchens. This makes it an easy last minute or rainy day activity.

Because it is taste safe, condensed milk paint is also great for toddlers and even babies to play with. It can also be used as fingerpaint.

Bubble Painting!

Bubble painting is something I’d been wanting to try for awhile, but it sounded complicated, so I wanted to wait for the right time.  The right time came along one afternoon last week when only the girls were home, but as it turns out, it was easy and I could have done it with all the kids!

All you need is dish soap, paint (I used washable tempera), straws, paper, and newspaper to cover the table with.

In shallow bowls, mix dish soap with paint. The amount of dish soap I started with (about 1/4 cup) wasn’t enough and I had to add more for it to work.

Have your child blow bubbles in the mixture using a drinking straw until the bubbles are at the top of or above the bowl.

Gently place a paper on top and allow the bubbles to pop before removing the paper:

I was hoping that by using primary colours, we would also get some colour mixing, but even when overlapping, the colours don’t mix on the paper because the paint is so thin with it just being a bubble.

Here is the finished product:

It was a fun and easy craft and used household items.  I wish we had done it sooner and I am sure that we will do it again soon because the boys want to try!
