Shaving cream painting

'Messy' and 'fun'

Two words that children love to hear together and this activity is just that, but it also resulted in a very cool, very original patterned piece of art.

What do we need?

1.Clear glue

2. primary colour paint

3. shaving foam

4. paint brushes

5. cups

  

  First we fill up half cup of glue and paint. 

 

Next, children will get to spray the shaving foam in the cup with teachers guidance and they take turns to stir the mixture together.

 "Miss Shabana! Miss Cynthia! This look like milkshake!"

 

Through this activity children get to experience the dabbing techniques to paint instead of stroking. They were also encouraged to think out of box on how they can use this technique to paint their family portrait.
