Kai Projects: Rainbow bread

Kai has been fascinated with "food projects" lately. We look through Pinterest together to find things to try. Her first (and most frequent) selection is always felt cut into food shapes - I guess that pictures best. But I've been able to guide her toward edible projects for which we already have the ingredients on hand (important because I'm still on crutches).

To make rainbow bread, we first mixed food coloring with milk:

Kai "painted" the colored milk on bread:

And I toasted the bread in our toaster oven:

She loved it!

Unfortunately, I'm still somewhat disturbed by colored bread. I remember when they started selling tie-dyed white bread in the store when I was a kid. I think my mother's distress at this product carried with me.
