Today I’m adding another Leprechaun kid craft to the blog archives and this one is just as easy, fun for all ages and inexpensive like our past craft tutorials!

Today’s Puffy Paint Leprechaun Beard {Kid Craft} is pure fun with no real rules! Just print the FREE template located below and let kids GROW their own beard with a fun, sticky mixture that only takes minutes to make!

Got shaving cream and glue on hand? Then you are well on your way to pulling this DIY activity together in minutes!!! So what are you waiting for? Let’s grab those craft supplies and get straight to work on crafting up this adorable craft! You can find the full step-by-step tutorial below. Happy crafting my friends!!!

Supplies:

* Shaving Cream
* White School Glue
* Food Coloring {I used a mixture of red & yellow to get a shade of orange}
* Paint Brushes
* Free Printable Template {download HERE}
* Printer
* Cardstock

Directions:

* First download and print the free template on thick white cardstock.
*  Next mix up your puffy paint beard mixture. This is done by placing equal parts of glue & shaving cream in a small bowl. Add a few drops of yellow and red food coloring to get an orange color. Then mix until it’s like thick frosting.
* Using a paint brush, have children place a good layer of “frosting” all over the beard design on the cardstock.
* Once they are done painting on their beard, set their piece aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
