LOWER JUNIOR

Materials: Shaving Cream, bottled glue, food coloring (or tempera or acrylic paint will work), fork or other utensil such as a skewer or toothpick, paper, ruler or another object to act like a “squeegee”.

 

Instructions:

  • Spray shaving cream into a pan or baking sheet and smooth it down with a spatula
  • Squirt a few drops of food coloring or paint onto the shaving cream surface. (Play around with different color combinations using your utensil, swirl the colors around. Try not to “overmix” but rather, try to create a marbleized look by dragging one color through another.
  • Lay your paper on top of the design and give it a minute to soak up the dye. Peel it away from the shaving cream and lay it down, messy side scrape it off by pulling the ruler across the paper to reveal your master piece

Upper junior DIY Shaving Cream Puffy Paint

 

Materials: Shaving cream, bottled glue, food coloring, heavy paper such as cardstock

 

Instructions:

  • Mix equal amounts of shaving cream and glue in a bowl (we did 3 different colors).
  • Add food coloring, a few drops at a time until you have your desired color. Mix well.
  • Apply the mixture to a piece of heavy paper in any design you would like- we did an ice cream cone! Try to keep it “puffy” rather than smearing it flat because it will dry in that position!
