I’m on a tear right now to uncover ways to inexpensively duplicate the cool effects provided by certain products on the market that are simply too expensive… or too toxic… to let young children go wild experiencing them. Today I’m sharing a recipe I’ve discovered that I haven’t yet tried. (But I will soon!) So enjoy… and come back and share your feedback!!!
Homemade Puff Paints
ingredients:
1 Tablespoon self-rising floor
1 Tablespoon salt
Food coloring
Enough water to make a paste
directions:
then you mix them all together and voila! you have your paint. use paint brushes or cotton swabs to paint on cardboard. it works best to brush paint on thickly. when you are finished microwave your painting for 5-10 seconds, do not microwave for too long! and that’s it. homemade puffy paint.
Thanks goes to sandy toes & popsicles!

Come back and let us know about your results…
the more feedback we all get the easier it is to discover what
might need tweaking.
Thanks CrazyMoM!
How fun! I am always looking for new ideas for my 3 kiddos! I’ve never tried this one! How is it working? Guess we will have a new project to try today

Hi Jess… thanks for leaving a comment! It DOES work great… the trick is to be sure you’ve spread the paint on thick. That doesn’t require much encouragement for the kids in my life, they love spreading it on thick. LOL
