3-Ingredient Puffy Paint

I love simple activities for my kids. For one, anything that they can help prep and that doesn’t take a lot of time makes me happy. Secondly, simple activities, such as this 3-ingredient puffy paint, fascinate my kids. Setting something like this up takes mere minutes and it has them engrossed for a long time. Recently, my daughter started full-day kindergarten. Most afternoons, my son spends asking if it’s time to pick her up yet. As a result, I have been trying to set up fun activities for us to enjoy to pass the time. On Friday, we made this 3-ingredient puffy paint and filmed it. It has been a huge success on facebook! And so, I decided to share it here so it’s easy to access for anyone interested. The video takes about one minute to watch. Or, you can simply scroll down to read the instructions!
