Materials needed:
- Food coloring
- Elmer’s / PVA Glue
- Shaving Cream / Foam
- Cereal Box or white cardboard (Kartoncina)
- Cardboard
- Scissors
- Marker
- Paintbrush
- glitters – to act as sprinkles
- Making the puffy paint:
- Mix equal parts of shaving cream and glue in a bowl, until you get stiff peaks in the mixture.
- Divide the mixture into smaller containers if you would like to create different colors, to represent the different ice cream flavors e.g. white-vanilla, brown-chocolate, red-strawberry, green-mint..
- Add food coloring…few drops at a time and mix well.
Puffy Paint Ice cream:
- Cut out a triangle cone from a cardboard and draw lines with a marker.
- Stick the cone on a recycled cereal box or white cardboard.
- Let the children add the ice cream on top of the cone, using the puffy paint and a paint brush – the layer of puffy paint should be thick, so that when it dries, it will remain puffy. Using a teaspoon might help in creating a thick layer and also to distribute the puffy paint.
- Children might also add some glitters on top of their ice cream.
- Leave the ice cream to dry.
- Once ready, you can place the remaining puffy paint in a container for some messy play :).
