Is there such a thing?? To buy or make?

Why would you want to eat paint?

You can buy it from ELC. It is organic. I would imagine you would buy it if you were worried about babies or toddlers sucking the paintbrush? I usually give babies water and a paintbrush to paint with when the others are painting with paint.

You can use very runny icing - it can be lots of colours and can be used as finger paint

It doesn't 'keep' but it is completely safe (if a little hyper inducing in some children - sugar & colouring )

It's especially good poured (small amount of either 1 or 2 colours) onto a high chair tray - very contained

Nannynick, the only paint I wish to eat is that chocolate body paint ;)

Yes it's for a baby so I don't have to worry too much about him shoving it in his mouth. WIll check out ELC thanks, it's for a Mother's Day gift so needs to be "proper" paint for this.

Katymac, I've used icing before on a highchair tray, and also passata oh and fruitapura stuff too which was a big hit for squishing, rather than "painting"

love the idea of 'painting' with food, will be trying this next week.

Chocolate body paint!! Sounds kinkyer than my rail in the middle of my front room ceiling. Mmmm.
