I was intrigued the first time I heard about
Wee Can Too: edible art supplies, really?? Yes. The ingredients are not just all natural, they are organic, gluten-free and dairy free. Anyone and everyone should have some of these fun items. I sure had a blast with them; I mean, while I supervised Tubby using them :)
We got the Veggie Sidewalk Chalk and the Veggie Tempera Paint set to play with. I read the ingredients and was surprised to see turmeric listed in the chalk ingredients. I wasn't too surprised then, when I opened the paint tubs to find that they smelled spicy! I had to restrain myself from tasting them, that is for sure.
The Tempera Paints come in powder form so you have to mix in water before using them. You can't really tell the colors, either, until the water mixes in! That was like a little science experiment for me. I was so engrossed in the mixing that I almost forgot it was 93 degrees...I think that is why our paint didn't get as smooth as I hoped. It was just too hot.
Once mixed though, my little artist went to work. 'Easy to do' he kept saying.
He worked so hard that paint got everywhere. We didn't mind because it was all food ingredients. It would wash off, no problem.
Since we were outside, I just took out the plant sprayer. The paint stains just washed off like you would expect. Plus, Tubby got a mini shower which helped cool him off a little.
Next we moved onto the sidewalk chalk. I thought for sure there would be some mad inspiration from Tubby, since we have a couple of crayon murals in the house. He was more interested in getting me to draw.
Then I guess the heat was just too much. Tubby packed up and it was time to go back inside.
You can't go wrong with organic and natural and SAFE art supplies from
WeeCanToo. Did you know Nichole, the creator, has won several Cribsie awards for her products?!
Some lucky reader will be able to try these mix and use paints. The winner of my
Summer Celebration prize gets a set to play with! Thank you Nichole.

I am so excited about these! I have held back on getting craft supplies for my toddler because he still puts a lot of stuff in his mouth. This would be great because we could just let loose and have fun. I am so going to get this!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! This is SOOOO awesome!!! I need to get these for my kids!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Paints that smell good and are environmentally friend and safe for children these sound wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! Its safe for my kids and work just as well as the competitor brands. I definately need to try them!
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! These would be perfect for my 2 year old...I haven't attempted much art with him yet because I'm afraid he'll just want to put it all in his mouth!
ReplyDeleteI would love to get these for my kids! I love that they are natural!
ReplyDeleteI would love these fo rmy kids! I love that they are safe with kids!
ReplyDeletewell all know kids put everything in their mouths, so there is a big difference between technically "non-toxic" and actually edible...I think this is fabulous! Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteSounds fun! I have to be super careful with my daughter because she's still "testing" everything for taste.
ReplyDeletemy kids love artsie stuff...especially my middle two...these look really neat!!
ReplyDeletei can't wait for our daughter to be old enough to play with this stuff. definitely going to get some.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love this! Mixing the paint would probably be her favorite part.
ReplyDeleteAs an art teacher, can I just get an AMEN! Thank the good lord someone finally came up with something that works. Wish I had been able to win this.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea. The thought of what is in some of these art supplies grosses me out, but with these edibles, no worries.
ReplyDeleteThese are so creative!! They eat it regardless so might as well make it edible!

These look like so much fun, I would love to do this with my daughter!
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun!! I love that it is non toxic!! Especially since we have little ones who can't keep things out of their mouths
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great! Its safe for my kids and work just as well as the competitor brands. I definately need to try them!
ReplyDeleteThese are awesome I've been looking for real good edible paints for when Izzy is ready for them I want to be stocked and ready to go!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I should get some of these for my son!
ReplyDeleteI love that these are so safe and wash out so easily!
ReplyDeleteThese would be perfect for me! My 17 month old eats everything so I am nervous about doing arts & crafts with her, this would be the perfect solution!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! My son is 21 months old and still tries to sneak a bite or just about everything. I'd love to just let him have at it with art supplies and not worry too much about whether he is eating them!
ReplyDeleteI love that these are safe for little ones. I struggle sometimes finding things all my kids can do together and this would be wonderful for the older and the younger ones
ReplyDeleteI love this concept! My son is still at the stage where he eats everything so this concept is very appealing to us.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the perfect early finger paint for my little girl. I'm realizing that in a few short months she'll be ready for some arts and crafts.
ReplyDeleteThese seem really neat! While I wouldn't let my kid know they are "edible" (because then she would just HAVE to taste it) I would have peace of mind that if they do ingest some it won't be toxic chemicals!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing. My 2 year old loves to paint and do crafts and my 1 year old wants to join in but I am always hesitant since he might put some of it in his mouth. This would allow me to let him help too.

I love the thought put into these products. Making them gluten free too. I love that more and more companies are using less and less chemicals in their products. Thank you for the review.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove that they are organic and safe seeing as my daughter and son like to try and eat everything lol
ReplyDeleteThis is really great to see!! :D My daughter loves to put things in her mouth and I cant help but think about all the nasty chemicals that are in most toys.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea because when my children were doing crafts I would always worry about them eating the paint.I wouldn't have to worry about that with these paints.
ReplyDeleteIt is very true that toddlers (and bigger kids) like to put stuff in their mouths. This is great for that and fun!

I love that these are edible just in case, of course my husband would probably try it to gross me out. LOL
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I like how everything is Organic and safe :) My son likes to munch of stuff.so this would be awesome to have
ReplyDeleteWhat a great product. My son is coming of age where I will have to start to look for products like these. I would much rather have organic gluten free products in my house anyway :)
