What do kids love more than a combination of attending a fun party, playing dress up, and making arts and crafts? Throwing ice cream into the mix! Homemade puffy paint is a great way to imitate the texture and look of ice cream. It’s made of shaving cream and is easy to clean up, so don’t be afraid to get creative with your rascals!

Supplies

Design

Cut a triangle cone shape out of brown paper and tape it towards the bottom of the cardstock. Be sure to leave room at the top of the paper for your puffy ice cream paint. Use a pencil to make an ice cream shape on the top of the cone so your rascals can use it as an outline.

Directions

  1. Mix equal parts of white glue to shaving cream. Start off with one cup of each in a bowl and mix with a spatula.

  2. Add food coloring of your choice. Use a small amount of coloring first, (one drop) and add more if desired. Mix until the color is combined.

  3. Use a paintbrush to paint a thick layer of the puffy paint directly on the top of the cone and around your pencil outline.

  4. Allow to dry flat for at least 12 hours.
