ok – so this comment is much later than the others, but maybe someone will read it! 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.

I have this activity on my blog as well – the kids and grown ups find it to be fun.
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!

I think this looks very cute. I was thinking perhaps you could make a french toast sort of batter, then put the coloring in, and make a french toast so its not as soggy? But then it might get too brown from cooking it in a pan like that… Oh well, I’ll just have to try both ways. Thanks for the idea =)

Kate – I’m also a former preschool teacher and mother of 3 and find no harm in this Painting Toast activity. It’s meant to be a fun science/art activity with my children. I see nothing wrong in having a little fun that is out of the ordinary. Thanks for your opinion and I agree with you that it’s about the experience, but read the rest of my blog and you’ll see I do all kinds of worthwhile activities with my kids.

Carole & Daycareworker – Thanks!
