A smorgasbord of edible paints for the little ones. Not that we want them to eat the paint but, they're kids and sampling the multi color products is part of the deal.

Our paints are made with all edible ingredients but that doesn't mean they're tasty. We don't necessarily want the kids to eat the product. But if they do eat it it's good to know that it's harmless.

It's important to note that although these paints are safe for the inside and outside of the kids they are not necessarily stain resistant or washable.

There are Washable, Non Toxic Fingerpaint products available from Amazon that aren't necessarily edible but they are kid friendly and clothing and furniture friendly too!.
