A fun sensory craft activity - puffy paint!

I thought I'd share a simple fun sensory craft activity which your kids might like to have a go at - Puffy Paint.

Equipment

• 1 cup white shaving foam
• 1/2 cup white liquid glue
• Mixing bowl or container
• Food colouring
• Paper or object to be painted

Method

1. Mix shaving foam and glue in a bowl or container
2. If the mixture appears too thin, add more glue to make it stiffer
3. Add food colour to the mixture - if using more than one colour, divide the mixture into separate containers and then add colour
4. Paint the paper or the object you would like to decorate
5. Leave to dry for several hours

Sensory tips

• When combining the mixture, give your child the option of using a spoon, using their hands of putting food bags over their hands to act as gloves if they don't want to directly touch the mixture.
• When painting, your child can use their fingers or a paintbrush
• Add glitter for more visual stimulation
• Try adding scent to the mixture e.g. cinnamon. 

Have a fun!
