We love painting with shaving cream! You can spray it on a table and let the kids get messy without any stains! We also use shaving cream to make our paint last longer. By mixing tempera paint into a cup of shaving cream, your paint will go so much farther. Depending on how much shaving cream you add to your paint, you can use the paint mixture for finger painting too. You can also add glue to the shaving cream paint mixture to make puffy paint.
