Puffy Paint!!

So at work most of the kids have been sick with ear infections, fevers, sore throats, and the oh so dreaded slapped cheek (Also known as fifths disease). In order to make the slow week seem a bit more fun and bright we decided to paint with puffy paint!! The last time we had tried this we used shaving cream, glue and food colouring, but this time I found a recipe that is non toxic and works much better! I will provide the recipe down below.

The kids really enjoyed using the pant, and the coolest part about it was all you had to do was put it in the microwave for 30 seconds (or a bit more depending on how much paint was used) and instantly the paint had hardened!! This is definitely a must try for anyone with kids. It's super fun, super easy, and a really simple clean up!!

Puffy Paint:
1 cup flour
3 table spoons baking powder
1 table spoon sat
food colouring
enough water to make a paste like texture

Here are some pics of the kids in action!! If you try it out let me know if your kids enjoyed it, and send pictures!
