Materials

Instructions

  • Place shaving cream into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add white glue and mix well.
  • Stir in flour just until combined.
  • At this point it resembles frosting or cool whip that hasn't been stirred. Place a spoonful of puffy paint into a resealable sandwich bag and seal well.
  • Divide remaining paint into 4 bowls and tint with food coloring. We used 4 drops of each color. Mix until evenly coated.
  • Place paint into resealable bag and seal. Cut the tip of the bag and draw designs onto the card stock. Let set to dry, about 2 hours or dry overnight if you prefer.

Notes

These simple ingredients come together for a great activity. Puffy paint is so easy to make and you can shop your pantry for most of these probably.
You can also use a squeeze bottle if you prefer for this homemade puffy paint recipe. Just use what you prefer and you have on hand. I often use the bags because that is what we normally have and they work fine.
