Fluffy Shaving Cream Ghosts
Sensory play meets artistic expression in this incredibly tactile Fluffy Shaving Cream Ghosts craft. Toddlers learn best when they can engage multiple senses, and this project offers a rich sensory experience as they mix and paint with a thick, pillowy medium. The combination of shaving cream and school glue dries into a raised, textured, puffy surface that retains its fluffy appearance long after it dries. It is a wonderful way to explore textures while creating friendly, three-dimensional spectral friends.
In a small mixing bowl, combine equal parts of white shaving cream and standard white school glue. Gently fold the mixture together until it forms thick, stiff peaks that resemble marshmallow fluff. Tape a large sheet of black construction paper to the table to keep it secure. Give your toddler a large paintbrush, a spatula, or even let them use their hands to scoop and spread the puffy paint onto the paper in large, ghostly blobs. While the paint is still wet, have them press large black sequins, buttons, or black paper circles into the mixture to create the ghost’s eyes and mouth. Let the artwork dry flat overnight to ensure the puffy texture sets perfectly.
