Painting with Candy
It’s the time of the year where more candy is in the house that you may wish. We don’t often use food in art projects at school because we want to encourage treating food respectfully. However, this art project idea stood out as way to use unwanted sugary candy.
At TeachPreschool.org, Deborah offers step-by-step instructions to sort sort M&M’s candy and turn it into watercolor paints. This looks like a great project to do at home with left over candy. Perhaps you could do a color mixing experiment if you don’t have the quantities shown in the blog photos.
Since we don’t eat paint, this might lead to a discussion about why we don’t (or only eat a limited amount of) sweets that also functions as paints. 😀
