12 AWESOME SHAVING CREAM ART PROJECTS FOR KIDS

 

if you’re looking for an easy activity to set up and keep the kids entertained, shaving cream is a surprisingly versatile ingredient to have on hand for crafting afternoons. Kids love the vibrant swirls created by just adding paint. You can make beautiful prints, cards, wrapping paper, or garlands with them afterwards. Or use shaving cream to create sensory bins or play doughs like sand foam. The nice part is that it smells great while you’re playing with it!
