One year we cut the cardboard in the shape of eggs about 5" x 8" and the children decorated the eggs. After they dried, we decorated the bulletin board with the eggs and cut construction paper grass--they were very pretty! Be sure to cut the cardboard into the desired shape before decorating, as the paint is very thick and may crack when it dries.

Puffy Paint Pictures Materials Flour Salt Water Food color or tempera paint Empty squeeze bottles Cardboard Method Mix equal parts of flour, salt, and water to make the puffy paint. (It should have the consistancy of frosting) Stir in desired amount of food coloring (remember that paint will dry lighter than it is when wet.) Fill the squeeze bottles with the mixture (one color per squeeze bottle). Squeeze the paint onto the cardboard. Try zigzags, dots and other designs. Allow the cardboard to dry flat. When it is dry, the design will be raised and will sparkle!
