DIY Edible Finger Paint for Valentine’s Day

This is Alec’s third Valentines Day and we have been working on a project that I’ll share tomorrow.

On Monday I shared Alec’s and my very first Valentines Day project – DIY Baby Cupid Photos!

And today I want to show you last year’s project. We got our hands dirty and tried finger painting for the first time to make a painting for Daddy. We mixed our own edible finger paints out of yogurt and food color so it would be safe if it ended up in Alec’s mouth (which it did). This is such a great project for big babies and toddlers! Check out the details and more pics here.

  • Sunday morning in the garden. Here has been so much going on that it feels like we haven't seen the children properly in days. So a slow Sunday morning, with lots of free play, a long lazy breakfast of berry smoothies and french toast, and some garden "work" was exactly what we needed. #suburbanbliss #sundaymorning
  • Nonie Pony playing while Louis is at mini 4H. She didn't nap today since she had a hard time settling in in the big stroller in the park so she was practically cross-eyes already when I picked her up. But Wednesdays at 4H have become a highlight for all of us the last few weeks.
  • Good morning suburbia! And the summer that won't stop. A little morning walk between dropping off Alec at school and going back to school for parent/teacher conference. 💛💛💛
  • My favourite month! Autumn is here but it's still warm and lovely. The kids were so suprised that it was dark when they went to bed this evening. They don't seem to remember how bad Swedish winters are because they were shocked when I told them it will soon be dark when we pick them up from school in the afternoon. I'm wondering if we will still feel like taking this shortcut through the cemetary then (which is actually a longer way that I take so that I don't have walk Léonie and Louis by the playground on the way from the bus to Alec's school).
  • Cake for breakfast! We rounded off our whirlwind weekend in the country with birthday celebrations for cousin Dante who turned 8!
  • Breakfast in the library this morning. The grown-ups' crayfish party went on pretty late last night but the kids had us (and by "us" I mean Sumit) up bright and early as usual.
  • We're exhausted already and have retreated to the shade of the parasoll in front of my parents' place. But Hermine's big weekend is not over yet!
  • The kids' table. Today was a big day for my little niece Hermine. She had a lovely christening surrounded by people who adore her.
  • A crayfish party in the country!
  • Friday afternoon at my parents' in the country.
