Homemade Puffy Paint!

Since it's been pretty rainy lately, we had to come up with some fun indoor activities. I found a super easy recipe for homemade puffy paint on Pinterest (come follow me!)..
1 Tbs Self Raising Flour
1 Tbs Salt
Food Colouring (a few drops)
Water (enough to make a runny paste)

And you just mix it all up :D

{I Learned...How to make puffy paint! LOL}



 We used cotton buds to paint with..

Then once you've finished your picture you put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds and it comes out nice and puffy!
 Charlotte was painting while watching her favourite tv shows - Fireman Sam and Octonauts :D
 Concentrating on her masterpiece..





and then, she {snapped}

 Then she thought she might try some mouth painting, lol

the long road

Just a little something Mummy whipped up ;D

William was asleep while we painted so we let him have a turn when we got back from jumping in puddles

He really only wanted to stick his fingers in the paint though :D


Thanks for stopping by!

    I've also heard mixing shaving cream and glue with colors makes a cook puffy paint that is really big and puffy!
