Kid painted Leaf Waffles


This kid breakfast is also a fun Art activity for the kiddos.
All you need is some frozen waffles, milk, food coloring, leaf cookie cutters, and paint brushes. When using paint brushes buy a new pack and keep it in the kitchen and mark them for "FOOD ONLY". DO NOT USE THE SAME PAINT BRUSHES THAT YOU USE FOR ART PROJECTS AT HOME.

Pour a Tablespoon of milk into three little bowls and color them red, orange, and yellow with food coloring.


Lightly toast the waffles then give it to your kids to paint with the colored milk.


After they are done painting the waffles put the waffles in the toaster again to toast lightly.


Then give your children the leaf cookie cutter to cut out the leaf shape.


That's it!!


I love when I can make their food fun but also let them create it like an art project.

Leaf and Acorn Breakfast (Pancake and Sausages)


After I made the "Fall Color Leaf Cookies" I got this idea to do the same thing with pancakes for breakfast. It is so easy to make and the kids will love it!


 All you need is Pancake mix, leaf cookie cutters, food coloring and three squeeze bottles ( I used an old ketchup bottle for my third one because I only had two squeeze bottles but it works the same). Mix your pancake mix and separate them into the three separate bottles. With the food coloring, color the pancake mixes red, orange, and yellow.

                     


Take one color at a time and make a circle and swirls in the pan on top of each color. Then flip and cook your pancakes as normal. 

After all the pancakes are done use your cookie cutters and cut the pancakes into leaf shapes.
That's it!!


I then took breakfast sausages and cut them up to look like little acorns.  



Hope you enjoyed this post. I thought this came out cute! Pin or like this post if you enjoyed it and leave your comments about it!

Fall Color Leaf Cookies


I have seen this idea in magazines and ALL OVER Pinterest for the past two years and I FINALLY was able to make it this year. This is so cute, fun, and easy recipe that you and the kiddos can make.



 First take any sugar cookie dough (store bought or homemade) and separate the dough into three pieces. Color pieces of dough red, orange, and yellow with food coloring. It is ok if you don't completely cover the dough with the color and some white still shows.

Give each child a piece of  the three colors of dough.

Have then push the color together to form a ball.



Then let the kiddos roll out the dough.




Give them the leaf cookie cutter and let them cut out as many leaves as they can.




Bake the cookies depending on the recipe you are using.





That's it!
The girls had fun with these cookies. They love to cook and bake so anytime I let them bake or cook they get happy!
