Puffy Paint

Have you ever made puffy paint? It’s really simple and you probably already have everything you need to make it. And it’s funny how practicing numbers and letters is a lot more fun with paint.

For each bottle of puffy paint, you’ll need:

2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup salt
2/3 cup water
1-2 TBSP. washable tempera paint
Squeeze bottle (I used plastic candy-making Wilton bottles that I found at Michaels)

In a bowl, stir together the flour, salt, and water. Add paint until you get your desired color. Pour the paint into a squeeze bottle.

You’ll want to use heavy paper like thick construction paper or cardstock to paint on. Even then, the paint soaks in a little, so be sure to do this on a safe surface.
