Taste-Safe Sensory Foam
Does your child like to put everything in their mouth? This play foam is baby-safe, toddler-approved and super simple to whip up—and best of all, you’ll only need two edible ingredients to make it!
Equipment
- electric hand mixer
Ingredients
- aquafaba
- food coloring liquid or gel
- cream of tartar optional
Instructions
- Use a strainer to drain the liquid from a can of chickpeas and pour it into a mixing bowl.
- Divide the liquid into as many different bowls as the colors you plan on making. (NOTE: Each additional color will increase the recipe prep time by 5-10 minutes.)
- Add food coloring and stir until combined.
- Add a few pinches of cream of tartar, then use an electric hand mixer to whip the colored chickpea liquid until stiff peaks form. Use immediately and discard after play.
Notes
Cream of tartar will give the foam a firmer texture, but the recipe will still work without it. This taste-safe sensory foam cannot be prepared in advance.
