Who else has insanely picky kids? I feel like I'm always trying to come up with fun/sneaky ways to get my kids to eat. Doing pancake art has been a total hit at our house! There are lots of different videos you can watch online about it, but I've attached what worked for me down below!
What You'll Need:
-Pancake Batter
-Squirt Bottle
-Food Coloring
-Small Bowls
1: Make your pancake batter!
2: Decide what kind of picture you want to make.
3: Split up your pancake batter into separate little bowls.
4: Use your food coloring and dye each bowl a different color, based on what picture you're doing.
5: Put your outline color in the squirt bottle.
6: Spray your griddle and DON'T PLUG IT IN YET.
7: Draw your outline.
8: Rinse out your squirt bottle and fill it with your next color.
9: NOW plug in your griddle and let your outline cook for a minute or two- just enough so it holds it's shape while you pour the other colors over it.
10: UNPLUG your griddle again, and finish off your picture, repeating with all desired colors.
11: Finally, plug in your griddle and let them cook!
*Activity Notes:
-This is a perfect activity to make letters for your child to spell their name or practice simple words. Make a note that you have to pipe your letters on BACKWARDS so that when you flip them they are right side up!
-Using a darker outline color really helps you be able to see your design better.
-Let your kids give it a go! Also, let them pick what picture they want. We've done Marvel characters, things from Super Mario, letters, emojis...it's really endless what you can come up with!
-We love the Kodiac Cake pancake mix. It has a lot more protein and healthy grains than your average pancake mix!
