Fun with Homemade Paint

 

Today, we had so much fun making and using paint! It was so simple, inexpensive, and super fun to make. The kids had a blast making and mixing paint and had even more fun painting. Luckily for me, it was a beautiful day out so the boys could paint outside. 
 
We made 4 batches, each one was a different color and split into two containers. 

All you need is: 
1 Cup flour
1 Cup Salt
1 Cup Water
Food coloring
 
 
Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl or container.
 
Add enough food coloring to achieve the color desired.
 
 
Have fun!!!
 
 
They started with paint brushes....

 
But quickly switched to using their hands!


 
 Things progressively got messier and messier! LOL
 
 
 They really had a blast!
 
 
 
BONUS!!!  The paint did wash completely out of their clothes!
