Puffy Paint DIY                           



Materials:
 - 1 cup Paint Color of Choice
 - 1/2 Shaving Cream

How to Make It:

In a small disposable bowl, pour about 1 cup of your paint of choice. Squirt about 1/2 of a cup of shaving cream. Mix together with a plastic spoon or popsicle stick till it is evenly mixed into a puffy paint. You're done!


Air Dry Clay DIY                 


Materials: 
 - 1/2 cup Cornstarch
 - 1/2 cup Glue
 -  1 Tbs Lemon Juice
 - 2 Tbs Kitchen Oil

How to make it

 Mix all the ingredients together. It should have a consistency of frosting or icing. Put in the microwave for 30 seconds. Mix a little, then pop in microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat this process until clumps form in the mixture. It usually takes about 1 1/2-2 minutes in all for me. Mold together, and once a large clump of all materials is combined, knead and mold with hands. If your clay is too sticky, add some cornstarch and continue to knead. You know this is done if when pulled apart, teardrop shapes form on each side. Mold into shapes, and you can paint it once dry. You're done!


Kinetic Sand Replacement DIY

Materials
-  25 lbs Real Sand
- 3 cups Corn Starch
- Dish Soap (Amount varies)
- Essential Oil
- 3 cups Water

How to Make It

Pour 25 lbs of real sand into a large plastic storage container. In a separate bowl, mix the 3 cups of corn starch and 3 cups of water. It should make a thick, solid/liquid mixture. Add essential oil to it to maintain freshness. Add this to the bin of sand. Mix thoroughly. Add about a teaspoon of dish soap and mix together. You know it is done once it maintains it's shape when molded. This is so amazing, and it works soooooo well!
