Puffy Paint
How to make your own homemade puffy paint!
You’ll need to get some flour, salt, water and food coloring together, along with an easy work surface (a table or kitchen counter) and a bowl to mix your ingredients.
Mix equal parts of flour, salt and water. Add a few drops of your favorite food color. Use the empty squeeze bottle and fill it with the mixture. You can make several bottles of different colors!
Squeeze your designs onto paper or paper plates (or whatever you want to decorate—a box, seashells, plastic or wood shapes from a local art store) and the paint will dry puffy and textured! Fun-o-la!
