DIY Homemade Squirt Paint


Ingredients:
2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
2  ½ cups of water
Food coloring
                Combine flour, salt and water in a mixing bowl. Mix it thoroughly. Using another bowl, put the 5 spoonful of the mixed ingredients, and then put food coloring as you like it. Then put it in a squeeze bottle.
                See? Easy peasy! And it’s not even expensive. For the ingredients, it only cost me P140 (less than $4).  I bought the 5 squeeze bottles for P150 (less than $4), but you can also use, empty ketchup squeeze bottles or similar to that.
Note that this is not meant to use with a brush because of its consistency. But it’s very nice after it dried out because it looks like it has glitters on it. And just in case you didn’t use it for a few days, sometimes, the salt melts. It will be watery, but that’s fine. You can just shake it or stir it with a barbeque stick.


                As a mom, I encourage parents to have their kids try this especially for toddlers. Here are my reasons:
1.       It helps enhance kids creativity
2.       They express emotions though their doodles
3.       It helps with color familiarization
4.       It can be parent and kids bonding time
5.       It can help remove or reduce tv or gadgets time
6.       The paint stain in the floor or clothes is easy to remove


I also tried this one so my daughter can doodle with a paint brush.
1 cup of flour
¾ cup of water
¼ cup of oil
Food coloring
                Just the same, mix the flour, water and oil thoroughly. Put some of the mixture in a separate bowl and put food color as you like and mix it again.
Have fun mixing and painting!
