For an easy, non-toxic kids’ paint, try mixing a package of Kool-Aid with half the recommended amount of water. It paints like watercolor and smells nice, too.
There are more complex recipes online for a thicker Kool-Aid paint, involving flour and oil, good for finger painting or potato stamping. I like the water-only version, however, because it works well in a bingo bottle—a little squeeze bottle with a sponge-applicator tip that reduces mess. (You can find these at school supply stores or craft stores.)

Wow, I never thought of this before!
Me, neither. I’d never buy the stuff to drink, personally.
