puffy paint

This is something I 'pinned' that I thought looked like fun. Here's the recipe:

1cup of flour
1 heaped tbs baking powder
1 tsp salt
water
food coloring

Combine everything. I split the mix out into sections of a muffin tin and coloured them one by one. We used cotton buds to apply the paint. It's best done on stiff card. When you've painted the image onto the card, put it in the microwave on high for 30sec- 1 minute and it 'puffs up'. Brilliant!

before blending in the food colouring

cotton buds- love them!
