I used this activity with the kids for my nutrition class and it was a hit. The kids had so much fun while practicing fine motor skills and learning about science through experinmenting with color mixing. At first I also thought 'How can this be a healthy snack for kids?', but it really was more of an art project. Most kids only ate about a half slice of bread, and we put different kinds of kelly on top at the end. You can use other breads if you're concerned about using white bread. The children really had a blast with this one and now everytime I go to the classroom they ask if we are making rainbow toast again. I suggest this for any preschool teacher.

I am pretty sure the FDA would have said something by now. Yes certain people can be allergic - or have a sensitivity (my sister couldn't eat blue gummy whales when we were little) but come on. A person could have an allergy to just about anything (a friend is allergic to curry spices) does that mean you should never let a child eat anything?! And toast leading to obesity?!?! I am pretty sure my toddler doesn't need to look like Kate Moss. Toast for breakfast occassionally isn't going to hurt them. People really need to start thinking a bit more rationally or we shall be raising generations of paranoids. Everything in moderation. I am pretty sure there were lots more "dangerous things" when I was growing up (kool-aid ahaha) and I survived. Food colouring toxic? I am pretty sure the FDA would have said something by now.

We used to do this and called it Monster Toast! My kids (ages 11 & 14) were reminiscing about this the other day! The taste is not bad, we would occassionally sprinke cinnamon sugar lightly over it as a treat. ok – so this comment is much later than the others, but maybe someone will read it!

Yes, white bread and food color are not the best options but I used hearty country white without high fructose corn syrup and if moms are really that worried about food coloring you can purchase natural food dye from India Tree or similar merchant. As a teacher and mother of 4 very healthy kids -- it is a fun creative activity that makes memories!
