Painting Ideas
Snowy Picture: Invite your child to use a paint brush and make a snowy picture on blue or black construction paper with the puffy paint. If desirous, sprinkle glitter while paint is wet. Allow paint to dry. The paint will continue to get puffier as it dries.
Cookie-Shape Painting: Read If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Nuneroff. Add brown tempera paint to the puffy paint and stir. Invite your child to paint a paper plate to look like a cookie. Cut small circles out of black construction paper. Add them to the painting to look like chocolate chips. Display the cookie once it has dried completely.
