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.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
