Did you know you can make your own puffy paint? I use 1/2 white school glue and 1/2 shaving cream. Just mix it in a bowl and add some tempera paint or food coloring to get the shade you want. It is really fluffy and looks sooo cool when dry. The kids love it!

What a wonderful tip thank you! I wish I would have known that when I was making "I'm gonna be a big sister" shirts for my daughter. I spent alot of money on paints that I've only used once. Now that baby number 3 is on the way I will use this idea to make more shirts for both kids!

This is a wonderful idea. I am loosing my vision and we are using puff paint to put on the buttons on the microwave, tv, and such. It is such a great help. This will save me a small fortune. That stuff is expensive. I am writing this down now. Thanks so much.

This is another great idea!! When you mean half and half, do you mean that if I want a half cup of one color then I add half cup of glue with a half cup of shaving cream? this sounds really neat.

Can I paint my office with it? I would like to have it look like clouds please. :)
Actually it sounds like it would be a great time and I am just a 54 year old kid anyways.
