Puffy Paint Experiment for Kids
Disclaimer: I received an electronic copy of STEAM Kids (e-book version) in exchange for an honest review. All opinions in this post are my own.
This STEAM activity is very simple to do and uses basic kitchen supplies, plus a microwave! For complete instructions you’ll have to get the book! But basically you and your kids will mix up two or more puffy paint recipes, create designs using the puffy paint on paper plates and compare what happens when they are microwaved!
This activity kids is a great way for kids to learn or practice the scientific method (question, research, hypothesize, test, analyze and report) and engage in process art! The puffy paint experiment can also be a fun way for younger kids to reinforce the letter ‘P’ and /p/ sound as mentioned above.

The book looks amazing, I teach at a title one elementary school and we just received our stem certification last year, now we want to add arts into it. This book looks like a way to do that!
