Shaving Cream Art Ideas
1. Marbled Prints with Shaving Cream
Awesome because no two prints ever look the same. Easy because all you need is shaving cream and food coloring!
2. Homemade Puffy Paint from Meaningful Mama
Who doesn’t love puffy paint? Love this budget friendly idea of making your own!
3. Rainbow Foam Dough from Fun at Home with Kids
If you are in the mood for some messy shaving cream art then you’ll definitely want to try this foam dough!
4. Homemade Textured Finger Paints
You’ll have a hard time deciding if you want to paint or just squish it between your fingers because the texture is so much fun! We especially love playing with it on the bathtub walls!
5. Drip Art from Blog Me Mom
6. “Magna Doodle” from Happy Hooligans
This has to be one of the easiest – just playing and drawing in shaving cream. The kids will be happy because it’s “messy” while us mamas and teachers can enjoy because we know shaving cream is one of the easiest things to clean up!
7. Shaving Cream that Glows from Where Imagination Grows
This ones needs a black light, if you happen to have one then you won’t want to miss this project!
8. Shaving Cream and Glue Paint from Sassy Dealz
Sometimes you just need a simple project to fall back on and in that case this puffy paint is perfect.
9. Drawing on the Window from Simple Fun for Kids

my parents would have never tolerated the mess that this makes, just a different generation I suppose

Lovely ideas, I’ve never tried any shaving foam crafts, but these look great.
Great craft ideas – thank you for sharing!
Kids always love shaving cream, don’t they?
Love the marbled prints!
Great projects. will post them on my Pinterest board for kids
So glad you like them and thank you for sharing!
Love this ideas, especially the marble paints!
That’s one of our favorites too!
I have to admit that the shaving cream paint idea makes me cringe because of the mess-factor. The shaving cream watermelon looks amazing, though! Definitely some fun ideas here. Do you have suggestions for kiddos with sensitive skin?
The bathtub paint is amazing because it lets the kids be “messy” but is so easy to hose off the walls. As far as sensitive skin, I’ve done several of these activities with countless kids in preschool and have never had any problems but if you are concerned a few of the projects don’t even require the child touch the shaving cream (i.e. marbled prints). Hope that helps!
This looks fantastic, but the mess makes me cringe! I like the idea of the bathtub.
My son would have enjoyed doing these projects when he was younger. He always like playing with messy stuff and also painting and drawing stuff.
I think this is very fun!! I want to do this! XD
Thank you for the chance.
This looks like so much fun!!
This is a totally awesome project. The slice of watermelon almost looks real. The color was amazing.
Shaving cream art is the best!
I bet the kids have a ball playing with the shaving cream.. Thanks for sharing.

I love the shaving cream activity from Sassy Dealz with making the watermelon.

What incredible imagination..and I am sure fun
These look like really cute projects for kids, thanks for sharing.
The Homemade Textured Finger Paints look like fun! My little guy loves anything to do with painting…and making a mess, of course 🙂
From an ex-teacher and now a grandmother of 4girls, shaving cream art is easy, inexpensive and adults like to do it too. Using cardstock we make new place cards for all big family dinners and the girls get to decide who eats where! Shaving cream art is fun, easy to clean up and quick….. Always a good combination, I think.
