All of the types I have ever used are more finger paint style and it will wipe off easily. If your on only concern is safety would just go with a non-toxic Crayola paint. If you don't care whether the paint wipes off the pumpkin, my favorite homemade paint is cornstarch and water cooked together.<br /> <a href="http://theimaginationtree.com/2011/03/homemade-edible-finger-paint-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">http://theimaginationtree.com/2011/03/homemade-edible-finger-paint-recipe.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-paint-recipe-safe-for-toddler#post-1909531 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:20:47 +0000 Chillybear 1909531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard good things about cornstarch water and food coloring</p> <p>in school we always used tempra paint we would actually mix it with baby lotion to make face paint </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/looking-for-a-paint-recipe-safe-for-toddler#post-1909514 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:14:22 +0000 Dagny 1909514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our family has a pumpkin carving competition every year and I would like DS (18 mo) to be able to participate by painting his pumpkin.
