Pancake Art:

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!
