Yogurt Paint Thoughts:

I take heart in knowing the paint is safe and non-toxic.  I do not, however, tell my children it is edible (for fear they will eat paint when introduced to the real thing!).  We love to roll paper over the kitchen table and paint with q-tips or fingers.  It’s a great way to practice letter tracing, shape making and learning secondary colors.
