Homemade Paint

I am trying to fill our schedule with more enriching activities and less TV. We got in some bad habits over the crazy hot summer during which I had the first trimester yucks, so time to change things up. I recently discovered pinterest.com and have found tons of fun toddler-friendly activities to try.

Today we made homemade puffy paint. The recipe is one cup flour, one cup salt, one cup water, + food coloring or tempera paint for coloring. I doubled the recipe to fill five squeeze bottles about halfway each. Ari had a blast helping to make the paint and actually painting with it, so all in all it was a success. :)
