If you are a mother of young children and have even once tried to cook a meal, you know the two do not work well together. When my children were small enough for a high chair, but big enough to get into trouble when left on their own, I let them paint while I cooked.
Squirt a small amount of ketchup and mustard onto a plate on the highchair tray and let your children fingerpaint with the condiments. If they accidentally eat some, no biggie. If they are old enough, you can give them a popsicle stick to use as a paintbrush.
A few squirts of condiments will allow creativity for the children and homecooked meals for the family.
Have fun!

What a great idea!
I am going to try this with my 2 year old. He is in a booster chair, but I could try letting him paint a plate. Thanks for the idea!
