Make your own foam paints
What you'll need for your foam paints
White shaving foam
Food colouring in multiple colours
A muffin tin
Paint brushes (or kids little fingers!)
How to make your foam paints
1. Fill each space in the muffin tin with a squirt of shaving foam.
2. Add a drop or two of food colouring to each of the squirts of shaving foam. Use a different colour for each squirt of foam.
3. Take the paint brushes (or get your kids to use their fingers) and paint away! It’s that easy!
4. Because the paint dissolves, any remaining paint can be washed away when the kids are finished.
Tip
You might want to add a very small drop of washing up liquid to the mix to help remove the food colouring a little easier from your kids skin once they've finished painting.
Process art is a hugely positive way to foster creativity in toddlers and preschoolers and comes with many benefits. Process art is all about the experience, rather than the final outcome, providing toddlers and preschoolers with the opportunity to be themselves, make their own decisions and to have the freedom to be creative in a way that suits their learning.
OK a bit messy, but lots of fun! Make your own edible finger paint for your kids. Its cheap to make and safe to use and if theres any left over, store it in the fridge or freezer to use for another day.
