Painting with puffy paint

The other day the kids and I did an activity with homemade puffy paint.  Kinda a science experient mixed with art.  You first paint with the mixture of flour, food coloring and salt.  Then you microwave your masterpiece and see how it puffs up.  I must say I was a little disappointed by the results.  The pictures I saw of this looked much more puffy...That is the beauty of doing things like this with the ages I have to work with.  It doesn't take much to please and WOW them.  They were impressed and intrigued for a while by this.  They both made a few pictures and then both wanted their names made.  You will see in the pictures below the scene of how it went to get them to hold their name signs up at the same time.  What chaos for such a simple thought.  They could not do it!!!
However, they both enjoyed the activity.  I am glad we did it.



Isaac just LOVED it!

some of the paintings

Here is where the funny part starts.  Never thought it would be so hard to get a picture with each holding their name sign.




And give up!
