Puffy Paint Snow People
This fun, inexpensive puffy paint spreads like frosting and
dries into beautiful 3-D paintings. To make puffy paint, mix
equal parts white shaving cream and white liquid glue. This
paint can be hard to wash out of bowls, so mix this in either a
disposable container or in a gallon-size, resealable, plastic bag.
If you mix up the paint in a container, give kids popsicle
sticks or disposable,
plastic knives for
“painting.”
Paint
brushes don’t work
well.
If you use a
plastic bag, mix in-
gredients by knead-
ing the sealed bag
with your hands
until well combined. Squeeze the paint into one corner of the
bag, and then snip off the corner with scissors. Kids can “paint”
by squeezing out the puffy paint from the bag as they would a
pastry bag.
It is difficult to make precise lines and shapes with this
paint. The best kinds of pictures to create with puffy paint are
ice cream cones, snow people, cupcakes, etc. You can color the
paint by adding a few drops of liquid watercolor paint, or use
food coloring. Or, add texture to the paint by drawing lines with
disposable forks before it dries. For added bling, give the mas-
terpiece a sprinkling of glitter before it dries. Allow to dry 12-
24 hours, more if the paint is extra thick!
