Because EVERYTHING is more fun when food is involved… We love doing projects that we can eat! Food makes learning so much more fun. Today I have a HUGE round-up of over 100 edible education projects. These are fun experiments, and learning activities that can actually be eaten. You know you love it… And since I had so much fun putting it all together, I started and Edible Education Pinterest board. Come by and follow along!
I have divided them all out by subject to make it a little easier to navigate. There are so many fun things to learn and do with food, I could probably o a whole other post with another 100 ideas! I hope this inspires you like it did me!
If you love edible education, you have GOT to check out my STEAM Kids in the Kitchen book!

Wow wow wow! What an amazing list you’ve pulled together! I can’t wait for my daughter to get older for some of the cell model food. Thanks for including our Tangram Christmas Cookies, too!
Rosemarie says
Love these ideas!
I did a simple edible Math lesson with my son when he was five. He was learning ordinal numbers, so I lined up ten small crackers (a kind he really liked) on the table in front of him. I then told him to “Eat the second cracker.” He ate it and I immediately replaced it with another cracker. I continued the same way, randomly telling him to eat other crackers (fourth, tenth, first, etc) and replacing each one afterward. He really enjoyed it and it helped him practice his ordinal numbers. This could, of course, be done with any small food – goldfish crackers, M&Ms, blueberries, etc. And I guess it could qualify as a snack as well as a lesson!
