Rainbow Toast

The Recipe Repository

Ages: 3-5

Less than 30 minutes

Grownup needed

How can we make eating more fun? This is a perfect food and art activity for little ones. Best of all, you'll definitely have these materials at home. While it might take you less than a minute to prepare, children can happily play with it for hours!

Materials Needed

  • Plate
  • Bread slices
  • Food colouring
  • Milk
  • Cotton buds
  • Four bowls
  • Spoon
Ingredients and tools for a food-related activity are arranged on a light wood-grained table. Three slices of white bread are stacked on a white, bear-shaped dish. Next to the bread are a glass of milk, a stack of small clear glass bowls containing a white substance (possibly sugar or powdered milk) with a white spoon resting on top, four small bottles of food coloring in various colors (black, red, orange, and dark blue), and a group of cotton swabs. The setup suggests a project involving decorating or coloring the bread, possibly using the milk and food coloring as paint.

Step-by-step tutorial

Step 1

Pour milk into four separate bowls.

Four small, clear glass bowls each containing milk are arranged on a light wood-grained surface. A drinking glass, likely the source of the milk, lies on its side, partially overlapping the bottom right bowl. The milk in the bowls appears freshly poured, with a few small bubbles visible in the lower two bowls. This image likely depicts a preparation step for a recipe or activity involving milk.
Step 2

Add different food colourings to each bowl of milk.

A hand adds orange food coloring from a small bottle to a bowl of milk. Four clear glass bowls, each containing milk, are arranged on a light wood-grained surface. A small drop of blue coloring is visible in the top right bowl, and a few drops of orange coloring are dispersing into the bottom right bowl. The other two bowls of milk remain uncolored. This image likely demonstrates the beginning stages of a food coloring experiment or a recipe involving colored milk.
Step 3

Use a spoon to mix the food colouring thoroughly with the milk.

Four small, clear glass bowls containing brightly colored milk are arranged on a light wood-grained table. The bowls hold green, blue, pink, and yellow milk, respectively. A hand holds a white spoon, stirring the yellow milk in the bottom right bowl. This image likely depicts the preparation of colored milk for an art project or a colorful food creation.
Step 4

Dip a cotton bud into the coloured milk and draw your favourite patterns on the toast!

A slice of white bread rests on a small, white, bear-shaped plate on a wooden table. Four small glass bowls, each containing a different colored liquid – pink, green, blue, and yellow – are positioned above the bread. A hand uses cotton swabs to apply the colored liquids onto the bread, creating a colorful design. This video likely demonstrates a creative food decorating activity, possibly for children.
Step 5

Use your imagination to create artwork on the remaining toast slices with the coloured milk!

A slice of white bread, decorated with colorful milk paint, sits on a white, bear-shaped dish on a light wood-grained table. The bread is adorned with a radiating design in pink, blue, yellow, and green. Small glass bowls containing the leftover colored milk (pink, green, blue, and yellow) are positioned above the bread. Three cotton swabs, each with a dab of colored milk paint, lie beside the dish, suggesting they were used as painting tools. This image likely depicts a fun food activity for children.
