Homemade Puffy Paint

1 Tablespoon self rising flour
1 Tablespoon salt
4 teaspoons water
food coloring
Q tips (or brushes)
small containers

In a small container mix the flour, salt and water together until smooth. Do this same process in as many containers as you want colors. Add a few drops of food coloring to each and stir.

You can use Q tips to paint with or brush. Make sure you don't paint it on so thick it soaks through the paper but definitely thick enough to puff up.

When you are done painting, lay it flat in the microwave and cook for 10 seconds. Pull it out and watch the expression on your kid's faces! It's puffy!
