Paint With These Food & Drink | Painters Start With Simple Painting Stuff

Most children love painting: mess around with colors, brushes, fingers and paper. They love to play with food. So why not combine these two pursuits? Painting with food and drinks!

Paint with this food and drink

Did you know that you can paint with quite a lot of drinks and even food? You have most of it at home, and it is environmentally friendly too, it’s like using environmentally friendly paints for interior painting to beautify your home. In addition, the kids find this super fun and the most beautiful works of art come out.

Coffee
Make a strong cup and let it cool for your kids. Not for drinking, of course, but for painting. Give them a few brushes, sponges, spoons, branches and other things that the kids can dip in the coffee and then create a work of art on paper or a beautiful canvas. Let it dry well and your coffee art is ready.

Painting with tea
You’ve probably noticed: putting a used tea bag back on the paper sleeve will leave a colored stain. You can also do this on paper. Use different flavors of tea, because each taste gives a different color.

Forest fruits for coloring
You can also paint well with forest fruits, such as raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. You can boil the fruit, mash it into a smooth mixture, let it cool, and drain it the next day until coloring. Blackberries and blueberries give a blue / purple color, raspberries a pink / red color. But, you can just as well give your children trays of fruit and have them messy directly on paper.

Painting with vegetables
Save the cooking liquid from your beetroot, spinach, red cabbage or onion peels for the most beautiful pastel colors of paint.

Dyeing with spices
Some spices are also perfect for making natural paint. How about the beautiful yellow turmeric? Or paprika, curry powder or cinnamon. Mix the powder of the spices with a little warm water until you have a smooth mixture for dyeing.
