{Toddler Tuesdays} Puff Paint

It is supposed to be a rainy week here! Paint is a great indoor activity that can keep your tot entertained for either minutes, or an hour! Puff paint is super easy to make and it is so fun to paint with! Bug lasted a whopping 45 minutes with this stuff {normally she is done painting in 5 mins}. The texture also makes it a great sensory experience for your little one {if you let them touch it}. It is so easy to clean because it is made with flour, salt, & water. It basically rinses right off! 

Here's how to make it:

Ingredients:

1 part flour

1 part salt

1 part water {more or less}

A drop of paint or food coloring

Cardboard or thick paper to paint on. {We cut a piece off an old box}

Pour your ingredients into a container {we save applesauce containers to put paint in}. We also saved formula scoopers from when Bug was a baby for simple measuring & pouring activities such as this one.

Choose your paint color and add it on in.

Mix, mix it all up.

 Some creative ways to paint with it {you may want to add a touch more water for these to make it a little drippy}:

First we used a paintbrush and since the paint is a little thick, it wasn't working out so well. I browsed through our drawers and came up with some other things to use instead...

Baby Spoons to scoop and drip.

Medicine Droppers {I just had to show Bug how to hold it and she loved this one!

Droppers

"Mommy, loooook!"

 This was toward the end...when Bug decided to get messy!

Let dry {for a few hours} until it hardens. Hang up and let your kiddo touch it and feel the awesome texture it dried to!

Like these picture hangers? Use this tutorial and hang them at your child's level to show off their art work!
