Marvelous Mondays! : Puff Paint

Did you know that you can make your own puff paint?  And there's no need to wait for it to dry?  Three kids made beautiful puff paint pictures yesterday at Marvelous Mondays!

 

Puff Paint

 

1/2 cup flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons salt

water

food coloring

 

Mix flour, baking powder, salt, and enough water to make a thin paste.  The kids said that it looked like pancake batter at this point!!  Divide the paint into several containers and use food coloring to make different colors.  Use spoons, q-tips, or squeeze bottles to paint on cardboard.  After the picture is done, microwave for 20-30 seconds until paint is dry and puffy.
