First, I drew a huge cactus on a large roll of paper.
To make the cactus paint, I mixed together 1/4 cup liquid laundry starch, 1/4 cup water, 2 TBSP green paint, and 1 cup salt.
We did this project as part of our Texas studies for our Fifty States Project.

Good idea for your TX theme :)
great texture painting! I love their cactus! :)
Texas is a fun state to study so much history and culture!
This is awesome! I LOVE this whole idea.
Your Texas unit study/activities are SO much fun. Some of my faves of all y'all have done!
What an interesting idea! I would have probably gone with puffy salt-flour paint - it's always a hit here, especially after it dries.
Great idea! Where do you get all of your activities and project ideas from? They are always awesome!
I am filing away all of your great ideas. My children are waaaayyyy too young for some of them but since I am planning on homeschooling they will be great in a few years when I start! Thanks!
Oh, now this is something I should do this week, since we just went on vacation to Arizona last week and my son saw Saguaros for the first time! He was on a bit of an art hiatus there for awhile, but if I can lure him back, I may try this. I even have some of that brown paper. Thanks for the great idea. :)
This looks so cool! I love the texture that salt adds to paint :0)
Looks like a cactus to me texture wise. I like it.
This turned out great! Love the texture of the paint... very cool!
Really cool!
