Directions:
- First grab and print the FREE HEART SHAPED COOKIE 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 until well combined.
- Now add a drop of red food coloring and mix until you have a shade of light 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 sugar cookie in the provided printable. They will want to stay within the lines of the template. This will be the frosting {but not edible!} for the cookie.
- After children are done with the puffy paint step, have them “sprinkle” on some sprinkles on top of wet puffy paint.
- Then set aside the paper sugar cookie masterpieces to let them dry completely before displaying proudly!
- If desired, once the puffy paint is COMPLETELY dry, go ahead and cut out the heart shape & glue it to another piece of colored cardstock paper. This will give your craft a cleaner look AND it adds another step to keep the craftiness going. Have fun!
