Thank goodness for Pinterest. I needed an idea of something to do with the kiddos on this rainy day, and here it
is. I didn't have a full cup of salt (You may have the same issue if you frequently make play dough, too.), so I figured it really was just using equal amounts of the ingredients that mattered. I used 1/2 cup each of flour, water, salt, and this was enough to fill the bottles each about 1/3 full. I think they are 4 ounce bottles if you want an idea of how much we made. The kids each made one painting and we have plenty left over for a few more uses.
Note: Even though this is made from items in the pantry, it is not edible. And I don't recommend calling your dog to lick up the teeny bit you might spill on the kitchen floor because, oh, about 2 minutes later, you will be cleaning up puke, and unless you are some sort of sadist, this is never fun.
Materials:
- flour
- salt
- water
- food coloring
- bowl
- spoon
- squeeze bottles
- paper
Directions:
- Mix equal parts flour, water, and salt in a bowl. Spoon or pour into plastic squeeze bottles. (Ours are reused from a tie dye kit that we bought over the summer.)
- Add a few drops of food coloring to each bottle. Make sure caps are on tightly and shake to mix the colors.
- Protect kids' clothing (I have no idea if this washes out or not.) and have fun painting. Allow paint to dry.
