Hi, thanks so much for sharing:) if i do not have a micrpwave, can i use an oven instead?
I am not sure it would work. My guess would be that you need a microwave. I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try. If you do, let me know the results.
dont you use glue for the microwave uffy phaint as its not listed how much
just did the microwave one buyt it was thick and you really cpouldnt do a star or flower
is it suppose to be like foinger paint i use 1 tablespoon flour 1 tablespoon water and 1 tablespoon of salt like ya said did are ya suuppose to put glue in the recipe for microwave as you didnt list that thanks
It’s a fun activity, but it’s really best for more abstract work. It will puff up and take form a bit, but trying to do a lot of detail won’t work. It probably is a little more like finger paint. There is no glue needed. Hope that helps.
Does the paint dry out?
I have some kids coming over that want to make it, paint, and then play with it again later but I don’t want to make 2 batches.
It does end up dry, so you would have to make two batches. Sorry! I hope you have fun with it anyway.
we dont have a microwave that is working in school at the moment, wondering if the puffy paint can be done at school and three hours later microwaved it when i get home? thank you
Oh man. I have no idea. I think you’d need to experiment at home. My guess is that it might not work. Please report back if you try it.
