Shaving Cream Paint Snowman

February 12, 2014 by OneMommy

With the cold temperatures during the winter, it is the perfect time for kids to get crafty.

And when it comes to winter crafts for kids, there are so many fun snowman crafts to try.

My preschooler had lots of fun making this adorable shaving cream snowman.

The texture of the finished shaving cream paint is unlike anything I’ve felt.  It’s puffy, soft, and a little fuzzy feeling.

The best part is, making this homemade puffy paint is so easy to do!

Shaving Cream Snowman

Materials Needed:

  • Shaving Cream
  • White School Glue
  • Construction Paper
  • Sequins, Buttons, and Fabric Scraps (for decorating your snowman)
  • Paint Brushes
  • Small Bowl

Start your puffy paint snowman by mixing up your snow paint.  To do this mix equal parts of shaving cream and glue in a small bowl.  

You want to be sure to use a foaming shaving cream (not a gel), and white school glue so your paint is white when mixed.  

If you are working with only 1-2 children, 1/4 cup of each will be more than enough.   

For larger groups, try 1-2 cups of each and divide it into small bowls that 3-4 kids can share at each table.  

Puffy Paint Snowman

Once the paint is ready, have your child use a paint brush to paint a snowman on construction paper.  They may want to add a bit of snow at the bottom of the paper for the snowman to stand on, too.

Allow the paper to dry completely.  (We had to wait overnight.)

Once the paint is dry, your child can decorate their snowman.  

Sequins and small buttons are perfect for adding eyes to the snowman.  A tiny piece of orange construction paper can form a carrot nose.

If you have fabric scraps they can fashion a scarf or even a hat for their shaving cream paint snowman.

I hope you have as much fun making snow paint as we did.

    I will never cease to be amazed by the creativity of elementary teachers! I mean, who else would think of combining shaving cream and Elmer’s glue?? Genius! Thanks for linking up with #LOBS!

    Great craft! We’ve certainly had enough snow this winter to inspire a little snowman creating and you won’t freeze while making this one.
