We are back in action after a lovely summer holiday and keen to try out some new painting ideas.
I have wanted to try puffy paint for a while and today I had children ranging from two to seven in ages which I thought would be great for producing a range of different pictures.
We first made the paint by combining self-raising flour and salt with a little water and some food colouring. The children loved helping to mix these. They then set about their creations using cotton wool buds to spread the paint.
When they had finished we popped the pictures in the microwave for 30 seconds and everyone was fascinated by the way the paint puffed up to create a whole new dimension to the pictures.
