DIY Snow Paint

Snow paint

Create a fun craft and sensory activity for kids with this two-ingredient snow paint! Simply mix school glue with shaving cream, paint onto construction paper, and the paint dries fluffy and spongy. This craft also serves as a boredom-buster winter activity and allows for the opportunity to start a conversation with your kids about the changing weather and snow in winter.

Materials:

  • School glue
  • Shaving cream
  • A container for mixing
  • Paintbrushes
  • Construction paper

Instructions

  1. Begin by making your snow paint. Mix 1 part school glue with 2 parts shaving cream. We used a glass jar to mix the ingredients but you can also use a mixing bowl or any other container.
