Melted Puffy Paint Snowman
Looking for a simple winter craft to do with your kids? This melted puffy paint snowman is easy to make, appropriate for various age groups, and only requires a few simple supplies!
Servings: 1 snowman
Ingredients
- 1 sheet blue cardstock or any color except white
- white school glue as needed
- shaving cream as needed
- 1 paintbrush for stirring and painting
- chunky or fine glitter (iridescent, white or silver) optional, as needed
- 1 sheet orange construction paper
- 1 sheet black construction paper
- 1 sheet brown construction paper
- 1 pair scissors
- 2 googly eyes
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine school glue and shaving foam in approximately equal amounts.
- Grab a paintbrush and use it to paint a white blob in the middle of the sheet of cardstock. If desired, sprinkle a bit of glitter on top after painting. (Chunky iridescent glitter works best.)
- Use scissors to create two brown stick arms, a black top hat and an orange nose from construction paper. You can watch the video tutorial for step-by-step directions.
- Arrange the construction paper shapes, along with two googly eyes, in random locations on top of the wet puffy paint, pressing down lightly to make sure they stick. Allow the paint to dry fully before displaying.

Notes
Helpful tips:
- Add a bit more shaving cream: Instead of using equal amounts of glue and shaving cream, add a bit of extra shaving cream to make the paint more puffy. (Don't add too much or it may deflate when drying.)
- Don't press on dry puffy paint: Touching the puffy paint after it has dried can cause it to break or deflate.
