Today we had some time to kill....so why not make some home made puffy paint! It was a lot of fun and the kids had a blast seeing what their creations would look like when they turned "puffy"!
Materials:
- Thick paper for painting on (it's a heavy paint)
- Yogurt cups for the paint
- Paint brushes
- Self-rising flour
- Salt
- Water
- Food Coloring
How To:
- Mix equal parts of salt and self-rising flour (for example: 1 tablespoon of self-rising flour + 1 tablespoon of salt)
- Add food coloring (a few drops)
- Add water until you have a paste that is just thin enough to paint with
- And PAINT! btw - you can paint on thin paper or more of a card stock. The card stock seemed to work better but plain white paper worked too.
- Once all the painting fun is done - microwave the masterpiece for 10-30 seconds and ta-da! You have a puffy paint picture!
