Puffy Paint Leprechaun Beard Supplies:

* White Shaving Cream
* Small Bowl
* White School Glue
* Food Coloring {I used a mixture of red & yellow to get a shade of orange}
* Foam Paint Brush
* Free Leprechaun Beard Printable Template on box.com
* Color Printer
* White Cardstock Paper

Directions:

* First grab the file and print it out 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 puffy paint beard, set aside their piece aside to let it dry completely before displaying proudly!!!
