Puffy Paint

Our church had meetings for Sunday School teachers and Kids' Wing volunteers. Georgia's 3rd Service Sunday School teacher taught our meeting. We serve with her once a month and she is awesome with the kids. I was impressed with her tips and tricks. Her excitement for young learners gave me a new love for arts and crafts.  
A few things you might have around the house....
will make awesome puffy paint.

Puffy Paint Recipe:
Spray shaving cream in a cup (expands so leave extra room)
Add glue (about 25% of the amount of shaving cream)
Add washable paint (a little for light colors, a lot for bold)
Stir with a popcicle stick.
Grab wide brushes and paint!

Goes on puffy and dries puffy!
 
Free style or shape fill in 
We did two colors at a time and she painted for 1 1/2 hours.
She was a bit confused by not adding water (like water colors) so in the end it became pouring water between cups!
