Marbleizing with Shaving Cream

Kids LOVE shaving cream!! This project is extremely fun with beautiful results.

Begin with some shaving cream for each table,

some Sargents liquid watercolors

watercolors

-place a large blob of shaving cream (big enough for the paper)

- let one student at a time squeeze just a few drips of 4-5 colors directly on the shaving cream

-use the back end of a paintbrush to swirl up the paint on the surface of the shaving cream until it is swily and marbleized looking (don’t overdo it or it will start to look muddy

-place the paper on the shaving cream

-use a pice of cardboard or styraphom to scrape the shaving cream off the paper and VOILA

you will have a beautiful print of your unique swirl design!

-then let students use markers and/or oil pastels to create their swirl into something creative

    This looks like a BLAST!! I have never tried watercolors with shaving cream. Think we'll try it with some of my younger students in the Spring. Thanks for the idea!

    This is very cool. I don't have those watercolors - do you think water-based paint would work okay?
