Hi John,

Would you like an absolute winner of a thrifty paint recipe for little kids who could squeeze every ounce of paint all over a page in about ten seconds flat?

This once happened to me...

My adorable sidekick was riveted by seeing paint pour onto the page, and of course had no sense of boring things like cost or finite resources.

I absolutely encouraged her to learn what happens when all the paint is squeezed out, but it was a little painful watching the paint pour quickly into oblivion.

And so the recipe was born!

This paint is made from flour, salt, water, and food coloring or liquid watercolors.

Raid your kitchen and make a batch of homemade salty, sparkly, puffy paint, that's perfect for squeezing.
