Have you ever had the opportunity to explore tide pools with your children?
It is such a fascinating experience.
They are commonly called starfish but their appropriate name now is actually sea stars.
I whipped up some paint and we created this stunningPuffy Paint Starfish Craft for Kids.

Supplies you will need:
Directions:
1.
Cut out starfish shape
Start by cutting a starfish shape out of your cardboard.
Mix up puffy paint
Mix up your puffy paint.
To do this, mix equal parts of shaving cream and school glue.
I used a 1/4 cup of each.
I ended up adding a bit more shaving cream to mine so adjust it to your liking.
Then add in a good squirt of acrylic paint and stir it until the color is mixed through.
While it is still wet, sprinkle the Pastina Pasta all over the starfish.
Let it dry completely.
I like using acrylic paint for the puffy paint because it gives it more of a vibrant color.
It makes it a fun sensory experience to feel the starfish after it is dried.
