Are you still looking for some craft ideas for you and your child to do in honor of Valentine’s Day? Well – today I’m adding another Valentine themed kid craft to the archives and it’s extra SWEET!

This Puffy Paint Cupcake Kid Craft Idea is super easy and perfect for kids of all ages. PLUS I’ve included a FREE cupcake template printable in this blog post, so all you need to do is download, print and craft away. It doesn’t get any easier than that – so what are you waiting for? Grab those craft supplies and let the kids get their creative juices flowing by creating some one-of-a-kind cupcakes in your home {without even getting the kitchen dirty!}

Supplies:

* Shaving Cream
* White School Glue
* Food Coloring {I used a mixture of blue & red}
* Glitter
* Paint Brush
* Small Bowl
* Cupcake Printable {download HERE}
* White Cardstock/Color Printer

Directions:

* First download and print the cupcake template printable {or draw your own design on some cardstock}
* In a small bowl, mix equal parts of shaving cream with white school glue. This will create a sticky frosting consistency.
* Next, add your food coloring to get the desired “cupcake frosting” color. I added a few drops of red & blue to get a pink/purple color. Please keep in mind, that once the frosting dries, it will be a darker shade.
* Once you have the consistency/color you like – have your child use a paint brush to fill in the cupcake part with the “frosting.”
* To finish your cupcake, sprinkle some glitter on top of the glue mixture and set aside to let it dry completely.
* Once completely dry, add other embellishments like a button for a cherry on top. Then display proudly!
