This is a craft idea that kids of all ages will enjoy. So gather up your supplies and get ready to have some fun!

Craft Supplies:

  • Muffin Tin or Small Ceramic Bowls
  • White Shaving Cream
  • Basic Elmer’s School Glue
  • Food Coloring
  • Foam Paint Brushes
  • optional materials – paper plates or white cardstock paper

Directions:

  • First grab your choice of container, school glue and shaving cream.
  • Pour equal amounts of glue and shaving cream into the dish.
  • Now grab your foam paint brush and choice of color in food coloring.
  • Add one to two drops of the food coloring into the glue/shaving cream mixture. Just keep in mind that the puffy paint will dry a darker shade than what it is in it’s “wet” state.
  • Now take your foam paint brush and start mixing everything together until it’s a frosting consistency.
  • And that’s basically it! You are ready to use it as paint.
  • Now repeat the above steps for each color you want to make today.
  • As a fun craft idea, you can cut a large paper plate in half and use your newly made puffy paint to make a rainbow design.
  • When done “painting” with your paint, simply set aside your artwork piece to allow it to dry completely.
  • Unfortunately the paint can’t be stored after it’s made but you should be able to rinse it out off the container easily with a little dish soap and warm water.
