Spring Craft: Easter Shaving Cream Art
Shaving cream is the star supply in this fun, messy how-to that makes a great Easter craft.

Kids love to get messy, but luckily this craft is easy to clean up. Shaving cream helps blend the paint into fun swirls of color that kids can create with their hands. The only hard part? Waiting for the creations to dry!

1. Squirt a layer of shaving cream into the bottom of the dish pan. Use your hands to smooth it out. (Kids will be more than willing to help with this step!)

2. Pour a small amount of paint, one color at a time, to the top of the shaving cream. Don't worry about being neat!

3. Allow kids to swirl the paint around with their hands, creating a marbled effect. Swirl slowly and gently, otherwise the paints might mix together and turn into a not-so-pretty color.

4. Place a foam shape on top of the swirled shaving cream and press it in. Allow it to sit for just a few minutes.
5. Remove the foam shape from the dish pan, then set it aside to dry.
6. Once the shaving cream has dried, use the squeegee to carefully remove the shaving cream from the foam. Admire your beautiful art!
