Raspberry Puffy Paint Recipe

August 18, 2015 by Anna Ranson

Make a wonderfully scented raspberry puffy paint recipe for sensory play fun and creative art projects!

Here is the next recipe in our scented sensory art collection, and this raspberry puffy paint recipe smells just wonderful! Just like with our peppermint, lemon and chocolate puffy paint recipes, this requires only 3 simple ingredients and takes a few moments to make. It dries hard and puffy with a lovely texture and is so much fun to use too. A feast for the senses!Sparkly raspberry puffy paint

Raspberry Puffy Paint Recipe:

2 cups shaving cream

1 cup white glue (PVA/ runny/ school glue)

3-4 fresh raspberries, crushed to a smooth paste with a fork

Simply mix the shaving cream into the white glue, folding it gently as you would do when mixing egg whites (to help the shaving cream keep the air in and not deflate too much.) Then stir through the raspberries until they are fully incorporated.

You can add a few drops of food colouring too to intensify the colour. We sprinkled sparkly pink glitter over the top as well, although this is just an optional extra, as it’s lovely enough as it is!Raspberry puffy paint

As with all puffy paint, it is better to use a spoon to dollop it onto the paper or cardboard first, and then use a paintbrush or fingers after that to spread it out. Otherwise you tend to not get enough onto the paper and it remains a little flat. sing large amounts equals lots of thick and puffy paint once dry.Painting with raspberry puffy paint

When you have finished your creations, leave them to dry flat overnight and they will be soft, dry and fluffy to the touch! Puffy paint looks fabulous representing food, flowers and animals. Raspberry scented puffy paint recipe
