Toddler Art - Homemade Puffy Paint


We had so much fun making and playing with our own homemade puffy paint the other day!  This stuff totally took me back to my childhood.  I completely remember doing this in elementary school! 

I followed the recipe on The Artful Parent.  Sweet Girl mixed everything together.  Then we added our different colors of food coloring and poured them into squeeze bottles.




It's neat to see the diminsion in the paint...for me, at least....I don't think Sweet Girl even noticed.  She did have tons of fun squeezing the bottles, though.  That's all that counts!
