For inspiration! There is only one recipe - but there are many ideas! The best part is that there are no exact proportions here - a little more foam, and you will get a homemade modeling mass, a little more soda - and the toy snow is ready!
I'll say right away - TWhich option is suitable for children over 3 years old?, since you need to be sure that the mixture of shaving foam and soda does not end up in your mouth.
It is also better to use hypoallergenic shaving foam, if the child’s skin is prone to allergic reactions (or do not use it at all).
Option No. 1 “Ice cream made from shaving foam and soda”
How to do: Take the cheapest bottle of shaving foam, squeeze the foam into a container and mix it with soda. In this option, you need to add more foam so that you can make balls. Place the “ice cream” in silicone baking molds.
On top, our ice cream is sprinkled with dyed rice, which we used as a confectionery topping.
4. Leave to dry (it’s better to put the rice on plates and distribute
How to do: even layer
, if these are small portions, it will dry faster).
These culinary measuring spoons can be used as spoons for ice cream and for toppings (they are attached to a ring - easy to store).
How to make filler: We take curly baby pasta and “spider web”, pearl barley and split peas. All this is colored in the same way as rice. Instead of “chocolate” you can sprinkle chicory or ground coffee.
Option No. 3 “Soufflé made from shaving foam and food coloring”
Colored shaving foam with food coloring can be used as a substitute for finger paints, but why not turn it into an airy soufflé for a toy confectionery shop!
Option number 4 “Cheesecake with whipped cream”
How to do: Take a household sponge, cut it diagonally - our “rainbow cheesecake” is ready! Squeeze all the shaving foam on top - like whipped cream and sprinkle with whatever you like.
Option No. 5 “Mass for modeling”
This can be called snow, sand and snow sand, since the mass turns out to be crumbly, but it makes excellent “cakes”, like sand.
How to do: mix shaving foam and soda, but this time you need to add more soda!
All that remains is to arm yourself with molds or build walls.
Such “cakes” can be decorated with details from a children’s mosaic.
No. 6 “Cakes” made of cardboard and napkins
And here is another “dessert” idea, this time made from cardboard and ordinary napkins.
For the “cakes” you will need:
- cardboard circles (base)
- colored rice
- cotton pads
- glue
- paper napkins
How to do:
1. Cut from leftovers cardboard boxes small circles for the base. To draw a circle evenly, you can simply attach a small saucer.
2. Cut colored paper napkins into pieces (I had the most a budget option from Auchan).
3. Cut out the “glaze” from cotton pads.
Now, apply glue to the cardboard base and “cook” our cakes - i.e. Let's post all this beauty. Then, apply more glue and sprinkle with colored rice.
Through trial and experimentation, it turned out that the usual shaving foam is a very useful thing in the household. After all, with its help you can not only get rid of stubble, but also restore order throughout the house. For example:
1. Clean the carpet from stains

Who said that only children can make an entertaining and educational game out of nothing? A creative mother has everything in her hands so that her children can occupy themselves for a while with something very new and at the same time the damage from such a game is minimal. All we need for the game: dad's shaving cream, paint and maybe just a little starch. Well, if you want to organize a day of original games for friends, you’ll have to buy a few cans in reserve.
What to do with the little ones?
For the little ones who like to play with grown-up things, we can offer several options. I’ll say right away that it’s better to play in old things without the risk of ruining them. To begin with, I suggest playing in a small sandbox. To do this, you just need to mix the foam with baby powder. The mass crumples perfectly and you can sculpt figures, and, if desired, make a snowfall.
Foam can be used to draw and make fun splashes. You just need to find paints for children's creativity on water based. It seems to me that you can even try diluting and mixing finger paints a little. Take the largest possible plastic container and squeeze the cream into it.
In general, the most entertaining thing is to draw with your fingers on the table. Today, special tables with lighting and sand are sold for huge amounts of money so that a child can draw and create pictures with his fingers. Spread the foam on the old table and give the opportunity to draw with it, not a single toddler will miss it!
Taking care of older children
If for children under three or four years old it is quite enough to simply get as dirty as possible without getting anything from their mother, then older children claim a more adult creative process. And here you can already connect several techniques using such homemade paints.
1. I really liked this option with making sand for modeling. The process is incredibly simple: you just need to mix the cream with dyes and add starch. Add coloring to the cups of cream.
And then we give one glass to our child and starch to help. Every little one will like the process: gradually add a spoonful of starch and get an increasingly dense mass for modeling. This is how beautiful it turns out, why not fashionable dough from boxes?
2. Bright beautiful colors excellent on paper. And volumetric paints are doubly good. To make these, you will need the same shaving cream, PVA glue, flour and food coloring. Your task is to mix all the ingredients and place the finished mass in a soft plastic tube. There is also complete freedom for experimentation. The more flour, the thicker the paint will be. As for its spreading and maintaining its shape, you will have to choose the most ideal option for the ratio of glue and cream. It seems to me that we will definitely try this with my daughter, we just need to find brighter paints and a big sheet of whatman paper.
3. And here’s another one no less original way keep children busy with creativity. From thick cardboard we cut out a variety of figures, letters, whatever your heart desires.
And now the most crucial moment! We create something amazing from paints by simply dripping drop by drop onto the foam.
4. And finally, the most interesting thing that can be offered for girls. Decorate and make any original decors On clothes every young fashionista usually likes it. I was delighted with the method by which you can turn a simple thing into something incredibly cool. This is what unearthly beauty can come from the most ordinary white T-shirt or skirt.
The principle is simple and not much different from previous entertainments. Only this time we will add fabric paints to the foam.
Take a tray and squeeze out more cream there. Let's distribute it.
Now add a few drops of fabric dye.
Using a toothpick, we make stains that are very reminiscent of the pattern of natural marble.
Take a piece of fabric white and simply apply it to the side that will later be the face of the product.
Leave until reverse side the drawing will not be visible, which means the paint has been thoroughly absorbed.
That's how many such fun scraps you can make. The more dye you add, the brighter the marble pattern will be.
We will use the most ordinary garbage bags, or just a piece of polyethylene. This is a solution for large pieces of fabric. The principle is this: apply cream to one bag and distribute the paint, then put a second one on top and work everything thoroughly with your hands so that the dye is distributed and absorbed.
You can put the fabric itself between the bags. And then you just removed the top package and you're done.
In my opinion, it’s much easier!
