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.
This painted Easter bunny footprint art makes a great personal gift for kids to give to family and friends at Easter or to hang on their bedroom wall. Its an easy Easter activity to do at home with young kids and a great way to capture their feet whilst theyre still young.
Young children love to paint and draw, build and sculpt and when they present us with their artworks its easy to tell them that theyve done a great job - whatever the results! However with a few open-ended questions you can find out a little more about what theyve produced and what inspired them. Youll also help develop their creative and critical thinking skills in the process.
