Rainbow Sandwiches
What’s better than a rainbow craft? A rainbow craft that you can EAT!
Did you know you can use water color and water to “paint bread?” Talk about a fun way to eat a sandwich! At first thought, you may think water+bread= soggy. No thank you. There may be some parts of the bread that get soggy if over saturated, but the kids have fun and the addition of toasting the bread before and after helps keep it more firm. We ate ours with peanut butter after!

Do you want to take it a couple steps further? After re-toasting the bread, whip up a rainbow grilled cheese!
Rainbow Sandwiches
Ingredients:
Food Coloring
Warm water
White or Wheat Bread
Pastry Brush
Directions:
1. Start by lightly toasting the bread on the lowest setting. Bread should feel toasted, but not have achieved
a brown color. (a little is ok, but the more brown, the less color)
2. Mix drops of food coloring into small dishes, add warm water until the color is as desired. (more water will make the color lighter). Experiment with mixing colors! There are a lot of color charts on Pinterest that will give you formulas, such as Lime Green- 1 part green, 5 parts yellow.
3. Have the kids use a pastry brush (or clean, brand new paint brush) and brush the various colors over the bread. Lightly toast the bread again. This will dry out the slices and make them ready to eat!
NOTE* Wheat bread holds up better than white bread and still takes color. This may be a great way to get
kiddos to eat wheat bread!
