Luckily, this parenting pro knows exactly what little ones love, and it’s so easy to do.

The parenting whizz said: “We did this today and Zac really enjoyed it.

MUM’S THE WORD

Mum praised for ‘brilliant’ parenting hack to stop kids being naughty

SUMMER FUN

Parents reveal how they feel about their kids being at home during the summer

“Less mess and a great way to paint if you don’t have paints at home too.”

Whether you do it as just an enjoyable painting activity or a way to make snack times more fun, it promises to keep tots busy for a while.

Method

All you need is any yogurt of your choosing, Neha says she uses Greek yogurt since it’s got a thicker conistancy.


Add a couple of tablespoons into the sections of a tray, a muffin tray would be ideal, then add a few drops off food colouring into each section.

Once the colour is mixed in you’re fully edible paint is ready to use!

Other parents loved the simple way to keep kids busy: “Such a fun and easy activity,” one said.

Another commented: ” What a fab idea!”
