Bright pretty colors, creative juices, smiles.
It widdled away a good hour...
Spring break days starts getting a little bit hairy in the afternoon hours...so finding something for my littles to take their mind off of bickering, and instead focus on interacting and laughing together...
That is my idea of a GOOD day!
We made these "puff paints".
Simply made from one tablespoon flour, one tablespoon salt, and a little water to make a thick creamy "paint". They can be colored how ever you want to color them.
Then use Qtips, and paint your design on thick paper.
Finally, microwave for 30 seconds.
They puff up.
The kids LOVED it!
They had a great time painting away, using every color time and time again.
Their projects turned out so cute!
They were really proud of them.
Truth is, this spring break has actually been nice. Very, very relaxing. Everyone has been a bit under the weather...so we have just been snuggling on the couch, playing board games, coloring, watching shows, doing art.
Sometimes, it is just nice, to do nothing!
It was a fun afternoon with the kids.

Cute idea! Spring break is always so bitter sweet. So fun to do all the things we never have time for but no time for the things we still have to do daily. Looks like you guys are staying busy!
