DIY Kids' Puffy Paint

It's already school holidays for us here in Queensland, so we are thinking about ideas to keep the kids busy!

We have an awesome homemade recipe for puffy paint.

What you need:

How to do it:

Start having fun!

Use the squeeze bottles to draw rainbows, clouds, flowers, animals, dinosaurs or anything else your child can dream up. The paint dries slightly raised, giving their artwork a fun 3D effect.
Use white puffy paint to create clouds on blue paper. Add a rainbow, sun or raindrops for a cute weather-themed artwork.
For a sensory experience, get the kids to use their fingers, cotton buds or paint brushes to create different effects.
Squeeze lines of different colours next to each other to create a bright rainbow. Add cotton wool clouds for an extra sensory element.
Write your child's name in pencil and let them trace over the letters with puffy paint.
For toddlers, put some puffy paint into a sealed zip-lock bag and let them squish, spread and mix the colours without the mess.
