We have never made this type of paint but thought it looked interesting. We mixed equal parts of flour and salt in a tray. Then the kids picked which color of paint they wanted to make. They put a few drops of food coloring in the bowls of water and then mixed everything together. The result wasn't quite paint (or actually not paint at all) but was a fun, different sensory experience. All we had was wheat flour so maybe that is why it had such a grainy texture. Anyway, it was fun and the kids had a great time mixing and painting, not to mention getting a little messy!

They look like they are having fun! That makes it more than just a painting project!
Now that looks too fun!

great idea! we'll have fun replicating it.
Better than homemade paint - its paint made by your kids! And such a fun texture too I bet! Looks great!
Thanks for linking up to It's Playtime this week.
