"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Make & Take Monday

Puffy Ice Cream Art

Materials:
  • Shaving Cream
  • Glue
  • Hard paper (Oslo paper/Easel board paper)
  • Small cup
  • Popsicle stick
  • Brown Paper or Brown Crayon
  • Paint of various colors
  • White paint
Directions:
Step 1: Mix a little white to make the color a little bit more “creamy”. Also prepare some paper cones for the kids. If you do not have any brown paper, you can let the kids just draw/color the cones themselves.
Step 2: Spray the shaving cream  For those kids who can, it would be better to let them press it themselves.
Step 3: Pour the glue. There isn’t really an exact amount as to how much you should put - equal amounts of glue and shaving cream.
Step 4: Let the kids pick a color/flavor! Drop some “flavor” into the cup.
Step 5: Let the kids mix away!
Step 6: Let them use their hands and spread the cream unto the paper. It’s really tons of fun to see their reaction from the unique texture.
Step 7: It takes around 2-3 days to properly dry

Don’t they look so real and yummy? Don’t be tempted to eat them or you’re in for a tummy ache!
