CANDY CANE PAINT
Materials
Method
- Fill a large bowl with the desired amount of shaving cream.
- Add a few drops of peppermint extract if scent is desired.
- Then, add a few drops of red food coloring to the shaving cream, spacing the drops along the surface.
- Using a craft stick (or similar) carefully swirl the red food coloring into the shaving cream to create a candy cane effect.
Finish the paint off with iridescent glitter if desired. Kids can use this paint to create all sorts of works of art.
Marbled Candy Cane Art
Materials:

Method:
- Fill a shallow container with shaving cream, and make the candy cane paint as instructed above.
- Then, give kids candy cane cut-outs.
- Have them gently place the cut-outs in the paint and press down.
- Allow the cut-outs to sit in the paint for a minute.
- Then, remove them and carefully scrape the excess paint from the cut-out.
- Repeat the process on the other side of the cut-out if desired.

Once the candy canes were dry I strung them into a beautiful garland and hung them in our home.
