The watercolor-themed kit introduces four white and four colored "interactive candies," which can be customized with the included brush stick—which is also edible. The kit also includes a tray on which to place one's edible art creations. To engage and reward young kids who participate in [low-tech play](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woset), food brands are reinventing favorite child activities with added confectionery indulgences. Delicrea's new watercolor candy painting kit is set to be exhibited at ISM, alongside a range of other innovative new sweets and snacks. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 66% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Youth](https://www.trendhunter.com/youth) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Edible Toys:** The use of edible materials in the creation of children's toys. - **Candy Art:** The incorporation of candy in artistic expressions. - **Food Play:** The integration of food into traditional games and activities. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Industry:** There is an opportunity for the food industry to collaborate with toy manufacturers to create more edible toys or incorporate food into traditional child activities. - **Toy Industry:** The emergence of edible toys provides an avenue for toy companies to expand their product offerings and collaborate with food brands. - **Art Industry:** Candy painting and similar forms of candy art offer new medium and inspiration for artists and designers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Paintable Easter Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/painting-kit-easter-edition.md) - [Color-In Hydrating Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oodles-of-doodles.md) - [Treat-Themed Crafting Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-sweets.md) - [Painterly Chocolate Bunny Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-chocolate-bunnies.md) - [Edible Sugar Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chefdoodler.md) - [Easter Marshmallow DIY Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-and-decorate-dozen.md) - [Confectionary-Inspired Chalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkling-macaron-sidewalk-chalk.md) - [Edible Slime Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slime-candy.md) - [Playful Cookie-Coloring Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookiecoloring-kit.md)
