Scratch and Sniff Paint

Your kids will be scratching a hole through the paper wanting to smell this dried paint.

Here's what you need:
Small mixing bowl
2 tbsp jell-O mix
1 tsp hot water
Mixing spoon
2-3 tsp liquid tempera paint
Airtight container

Here's how you make it:
1. In the bowl, combine the jell-O mix and the hot water with the spoon until the Jell-O mix dissolves.
2. Stir in the liquid tempera paint.

Here's how you use it:
1. Using a paintbrush, paint the mixture on a sheet of paper.
2. When your artwork is dry, scratch and sniff the paint.

Here's how you store it:
- Store paint in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. Stir the paint a few times before using.

Tips and Trick:
- Choose a Jell-O flavour that compliments the color of paint you're mixing it with. For example, use grape Jell-O mix with purple paint and strawberry Jell-O mix with red paint.
- Although this paint smell delicious, it is not advised to eat it!
