Homemade Microwave Puffy Paint: Art and Science for Kids

Making Puffy Paint is easy peasy and the result – not just fun and beautiful but also an interesting science experiment in itself.

All the ingredients are generally available in every kitchen.

Out of one batch, I intended to make four portions in four different colours

I set aside one cup refined flour in a big bowl. Mixed three tea-spoons baking powder and one tea-spoon salt. To this I added enough water so as to get a thick pouring consistency.

In the next step, I divided the batter into four smaller bowls and added food colours to each.

In the final step, I poured these into the cones that I had made in advance with transparent plastic sheets. I tied the top end with elastic band and also taped them so they would not leak.

And then, your children can settled down to make these patterns by squeezing the cones onto cardboards.

Besides painting with the cones, you can also used buds/Q-tips to apply dots etc.

Once the artwork was done, it was time for the fun part – the baking of their artwork.

The paintings were slid off into the microwave one by one and we ‘baked’ for 30-40 seconds at 200 degree centigrade.

After you are finished watch as your children come to life with excitement as they see what they have  created.
