  • cookie sheet or tray
  • cheap, white shaving cream
  • crayola acryllic paint (any colors or brand you want to use)
  • craft stick or straw (to swirl the color)
  • white paper
  • scissors
  • construction paper to use as a back drop, body, and antenae

Painting with shaving cream

Butterfly crafts for kids

Start by spraying shaving cream 1-2″ thick on a cookie sheet. Now drop blobs of  acryllic paint on the shaving cream. You will probably want 3-4 complimentary colors that way you get beautiful in the middle color variations.  We used warm colors like yellow, orange, red for one and cool colors such as purple, green, and blue for the other.

Now  use a straw or craft stick and make swirl design so there is very little white showing and cool designs. You want to swirl enough to get little white and lots of cool patterns, but not so much that you mix the paint and end up with one big blob of color. You get the idea.

The first part is my favorite. I love seeing all the gorgeous color combinations as we mix the shaving cream and colors. I think I could do that all day LOL!

Now put piece of white paper on top and press lightly for 2-3 minute. Carefully pull off and use craft stick to whip off any extra or a paper towel to blot it up. Let it dry.
