FUN FOOD ART FOR KIDS

July 26, 2015 by Carisa

15 food art ideas for kids from Messes to MemoriesI love food art! It’s super cute… right? You are probably thinking it’s way too much work. Not so.

Show your kids a couple cute pictures, set out some ingredients and let your kids make their own food art. Obviously it is not something we do every day. However

Summer is the perfect time to let your kids play and experiment with their food… something that you probably never thought you would do!

Not only is it great for the kid’s imagination.  there are endless learning and teaching moments you can have while playing with food. You can demonstrate what you learn about animals or the environment.

It is also a great way to get those fruits and veggies on the plate. After they are done making a cute little frog or an underwater scene, they will be so much more excited to actually eat the fun fruit.

Here are 15 great food art ideas to inspire you!
