Glue & Shaving Cream Puffy Paint Brains Craft Idea
Although today’s Puffy Paint Brains Halloween kid craft idea “might” be outside the norm – I still thought it was a clever kid craft idea to share with my readers. I’m all about being “different” and standing out a bit, so I hope you all understand my creativity 🙂
So if you aren’t grossed out {or offended} and are looking for a different “spooky” themed kid craft idea to do with the kids today, I hope you check out the full puffy paint tutorial below! There’s even a FREE BRAIN PRINTABLE to get your started!!!
Maybe you can even tie all this together for a “mad scientist” themed craft day – wouldn’t that be fun?!
Be sure to share pictures of your masterpieces with us, by using the hashtag #gluedtomycrafts on your various social media channels! Seeing those images really make my day and inspire me to make even more awesome posts on Glued To My Crafts!

PAIR YOUR MAD SCIENTIST CRAFT WITH —> Stained Glass Halloween Lantern
Puffy Paint Brains Craft Supplies:
* Free Brain Template Printable {GRAB IT ON BOX.COM}
* White Cardstock Paper
* Color Printer
* White Shaving Cream
* White School Glue
* Pink Craft Paint
* Small Mixing Bowl
* Foam Paint Brush
* Loose Craft Glitter
optional materials – Black Puffy Paint from Tulip
Directions:
* First print the FREE BRAINS PRINTABLE. You will want to print this file in color on thick cardstock and print one printable per child.
* Now you are ready to make your puffy paint! Place equal amounts of shaving cream and glue in a small dish. Mix together. Now add a dollop of pink craft paint and mix until you have a shade of pink you like {remember, your puffy paint will also be a shade darker when completely dried}
* Once you have the consistency and color you like, have children “paint” their brain in the provided printable. They will want to stay within the lines.
* After children are done with the puffy paint step, have them sprinkle glitter on top, while it’s still wet.
* Now the next step is completely OPTIONAL but I felt like the black paint on top of the craft, really “defined” it. Simply have children outside the brain/add some lines in the middle with the Black Puffy Paint From Tulip {affiliate link above} You can also use a black Sharpie when the piece is COMPLETELY DRY.
* Then set aside the masterpieces to let them dry completely before displaying proudly!
