Using primary colours of red, blue
and yellow, your kids can mix them together to make more colours. Some fun
ideas to paint, a rocket ship flying through space with puffy planets and
stars! Or an ice cream cone decorated
with your favourite sprinkles! Have fun
painting!
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Slowly add in water, whisking
everything together until all lumps are gone. It should have a thick pouring
consistency. Divide between four small
bowls.
Leave one bowl white and stir food
colouring into the other three. Use
straight from your bowls spooning onto paper.
Spread the puffy paint around with brushes, a small spoon or any other
utensil or craft tool. Or, fill a
squeeze bottle or plastic zip bags and snip a small hole in one corner and use
like a piping bag to paint with. Make
sure to remove the air out of the bag before closing them up, this will make
squeezing and painting easier for your kids. The thicker you apply your paint,
the puffier it will be! Time to create
your painting!
Once the painting is complete, place
on paper towels in the microwave for 30 seconds. If it still looks wet after 30 seconds,
microwave for 15-30 second intervals until dry. Be careful removing from the
microwave as it will be hot, set aside to cool before handling. Do not microwave for longer than 30 second
intervals as your painting could get too hot and burn.
