Hey guys! Ella and Annie are back with a fun puffy paint paper plate Christmas tree craft! Wow, say that ten times fast. My kids have come home with numerous school projects involving puffy paint and I’ve been meaning to try making it at home. I was really surprised at how easy and quick homemade puffy paint is to make! Just add food coloring to make different colors. Paint with a paint brush or put the paint in a squeeze bottle to draw more detailed pictures or words. Kids absolutely love the fluffy texture of the puffy paint. Who would have thought that white glue and shaving cream could be a killer combination!
