Magic Painting!!

This week we have been doing some 'magic paintings' using a special mix of self-raising flour, salt and food colouring. After we had painted our picture we microwaved it for roughly 30 seconds and were fascinated with the results!! 3D pictures!! Great fun and lots of great ideas, we've been really enjoying this activity!!

(Idea taken from http://www.melissagoodsell.typepad.com/day_to_day/2008/01/holiday-activit.html via pinterest)
