A simple paint brush can be used to paint the mixture onto the bread. We have a couple paint brushes that I have set aside just for painting bread and other kids lunch ideas that need to be painted or spread. I think I got a bunch of them for less than $1. They are run through the dishwasher before we use them.
Here is a lunch JDaniel just had last week with a painted milk sandwich:
It contains a ham, cheese and spinach sandwich that has an umbrella painted onto it. The top of the umbrella was painted first. A dash or two more of blue dye was added to the milk to make the mixture darker and than I painted on the umbrella’s handle.
JDaniel also had applesauce with flower sprinkles and rainbow colored goldfish. The bento lunch had a April showers bring rainbows and flowers theme.
Here are so more kids lunch ideas:

Do you have favorite kid lunch ideas you use over and over again?

We’re expecting rain the entire week, so that lunch would fit right in here!
I love that umbrella! What a fun way to brighten up a rainy day lunch.
Does the milk mixture make the bread soggy or does it dry without affecting the sandwich insides? SO CUTE! –The Dose Girls
I didn’t use a lot of milk to paint with. The bread barely got damp.
I’ve done that on toast, but never on a sandwich. Fun!
So cute!
Can I ask where you found your lunch box? I am trying to find a few for Peanut before she starts school next year and so far can’t find any that close well and are easy enough for her to open.
How cute is that!! But does it make the bread soggy? Or stale once the milk dries in those spots?
I just had the funniest thought. How is JDaniel’s wife ever going to live up to your meals!

I love Sue’s comment…lol! 🙂 How fun is that? I loved being creative when the kids were little but now, they just think I am crazy! 🙂
