MICROWAVE PUFFY PAINT
- 4 Tbsp self rising flour
- a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolors
- 4 Tbsp salt
OR
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp salt
- food coloring
Add water to make a smooth paste.
Paint on cut-out cardboard squares. After you have created your design, microwave on high for 10 - 30 seconds until the paint puffs and it's all nice and dry. We did ours for 30 seconds.
I am new to following your blog and I just love it! I'm a new SLP and I can't wait to incorporate these ideas into therapy as well as keep them in my back pocket for my own kiddos :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the awesome ideas and thanks for being so inspiring!!
We microwaved the paintings... not nearly as fun! Somehow I missed the microwave first step! It was still fun, but this would be more fun!
