Mind Body Soul Summer: Puffy Paint
Offering children opportunities to use a variety of materials for art, beyond the traditional pencil and paper, can strengthen imagination, creativity and problem-solving skills! A masterpiece with puffy paint (and of course making your own with our recipe) will be a summer hit!
MATERIALS:
3 cups shaving cream(not gel), 1 cup flour, 1 cup glue, food coloring, bowl(s), spoon, ziploc bags, scissors, sturdy paper or cardboard
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix shaving cream, flour and glue together without over mixing
- This step is for multiple colors. Divide the white puffy paint mixture between 3 to 4 small bowls
- Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl, careful not to over mix.
- Spoon the puffy paint into individual sandwich bags.
- Cut a small tip out of one corner of a filled ziploc and use it like frosting piping on paper. Allow to dry.
