Puffy Paints

Today starts the kids’ spring break! They are so excited to not have school. I am so excited to sleep in! Today our fun project was puffy painting. Zoe and her friend mixed up a special paint mixture, 1 TBS salt, 1 TBS flour, enough water to make it paint and food coloring. The colors look so pretty together!

My girls love painting anything!! The boys played outside all day in the gorgeous weather!!

Britain painted her favorite name. “Joe?” I asked her. “Yes, that is what I want to name the baby!!”

Once they finished a picture. I stuck it in the microwave for 30 seconds and the paint puffed up!

They LOVED it! You had to put on a thick line of paint to get the best results!
