Shaving Cream Marbling
Shaving Cream Marbling is a super fun art activity that can lead to so many different colorful creations!
You’ll need: shaving cream (foamy not gel), liquid watercolors or food coloring, a shallow container like a pie pan, plastic droppers, watercolor paper or cardstock cut into halves, a ruler or other stick to scrape with
Instructions:
- Spray the shaving cream into the pan and smooth it out with a spatula (your hands or a spoon will work, too).
- Use a dropper to transfer liquid watercolors or food coloring to the surface of the shaving cream.
- Swirl the colors! You can use the tip of the dropper or a craft stick to swirl the colors around the shaving cream.
- Lay a piece of paper on the surface of the painted shaving cream.
- Lift the paper off the shaving cream and use a ruler, piece of cardboard or other tool to scrape the shaving cream off the paper.
- Set the paper aside to dry and repeat this process with other pieces of paper to create a variety of prints!
You can make several from this bit of shaving cream but if you’d like you add colors after you’ve made a few prints. If you want to start fresh, add a new layer of shaving cream and repeat the process.
