As we are trekking through Mexico on the Around the World in 12 Dishes adventure, I recently took a leaf out of the incredibly talented Creative Jewish Mom’s book, and taught Dimples a little ‘science’ whilst we made puffy paint.
Dimples is all about the mixing, having spent the last two terms at cooking class, so I pretty much left her to her own devices after ‘helping’ with the measuring. Once mixed, I decanted the paint into some icing bottles I have, and we got busy making our creations.
I reminded her what Cacti looked like: we saw a fair few whilst in Arizona. And I gave her some card to paint on: because you ‘cook’ the paint in the microwave, you really do need to use strong paper when making puffy paint art.
And there you have it.
Good idea! Thanks for sharing

Awe! We do like a bit of “science” with our art! Lovely Mexico craft!
