My almost 4 year old loves art and craft projects, especially if they are edible. Some of his favorites are cereal necklaces, mini-marshmallow structures, and cookie cutter finger jello. This morning he asked if he could make a cereal necklace but I didn't have any holed cereal, so we made a pretzel necklace. He and his little brother thought that was pretty cool! I thought I'd ask you ladies if you have any edible crafts that your kids loved?
Thanks in advance!
Edible play-doh! Not sure the axact recipe, but Im sure its easily found on Google :)
My mom made us play with dough, or so we thought, turns out it was the peanut butter for Buckeye Balls, the recipe is on the internet. But you use peanut butter, vanilla, powdered sugar, and a couple more things but it's fun to play with and if your son likes peanut butter, it's a great treat in the end. You roll it into balls and dip into chocolate and refridgerate for later eating. It's a yummy treat and we usually made it around Christmas time.
This a little more work intensive but what about cut-out cookies? The kids can help you cut them out and decorate them when they are cool.
I have several play-doh and paint EDIBLE recipes on this page on my website.

Pudding finger paint is always fun! Messy, but fun. We do it outside. :) Just add a drop of food coloring to some vanilla pudding and add paper and mouths!

Rice Krispie Treats!
Divide up into smaller bowls and add food coloring, then make 'edible sculptures'. My kids love doing this at daycare!
