This was one of the coolest surprises all year. I found this recipe on the Steve Spangler website. This stuff is so easy and so much fun!!!
Microwave Puffy Paint
Materials:
self-rising flour
water
salt
food coloring
Steps:
Combine 1 tbsp. self-rising flour + 1 tbsp. salt + food coloring + enough water for a thin paste
Make as many colors as you want!
Paint using Q-tips on stiff paper. Microwave for 20 seconds.
Let the paper cool before handling.
I COULD NOT stop touching it! It was so fun! After its in the microwave its not liquid any more so you can feel it!
Here's some that we did:
you can really see how puffy it is |
Less than 2 weeks till back to school time! Where has summer gone?
Very cool idea! Thanks :)
