Shaving Cream Easter Egg Painting

March 20, 2018 by Shellie Wilson

Easter is a wonderful time for families to come together and celebrate. One of the most exciting traditions during this holiday is decorating Easter eggs.

However, traditional egg dyeing can be messy and time-consuming, and it often involves using harsh chemicals. If you’re looking for a fun and hands-on way to decorate Easter eggs with your kids, then you’re in luck! In this Easter kid’s craft tutorial, we will be showing you how to make Shaving cream Easter eggs.

This is a fun and creative alternative to traditional egg dyeing that is safe, easy, and inexpensive. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create beautiful and unique Easter eggs that your kids will love. Plus, it’s a great way to spend quality time with your family and create lasting memories. So get ready to roll up your sleeves, get a little messy, and have some fun making Shaving cream Easter eggs!

Supplies:

    • Eggs – hard boiled
    • Whipped Topping – large container
    • Gel Food Coloring
  • Vinegar

Instructions:

Hard boil 12 eggs.  Allow to cool.

Soak the eggs in a bowl of vinegar for at least 10 minutes.  

In a large container thaw out whipped topping, smoothing it until it is even.

Using gel food coloring, mix and swirl the coloring.  You can do solid colors or mix to swirl several colors.



NOTE: It is important to use gel food coloring!  Traditional food coloring will not be as dark or easily seen.  

Place your egg in the whipped topping.

Spoon over to fully cover the egg.  Leave it there for 15 minutes.

In a small bowl, fill it with water.  Gently dunk the egg in water and swish it around.  Do not rub the excess whipped cream off or run it under the tap as that will wash away the coloring.  

Allow to dry.

Fun Owl Crafts for Kids of All Ages

Owls are around all the time, of course, but they feel like a fall animal to me. Maybe that’s because of their association with witches and Halloween, but owls don’t have to be scary, as this cute collection of owl crafts shows. 

First you can learn how to draw a simple owl and decorate it with this tutorial from Arty Crafty Kids.

Use different shapes to make an owl with this printable shape owl craft from Kids Craft Room, or see if you can make one with tanagram blocks in the classroom or at home. 

Play with paint to make this fun paint splat owl from Glued to My Crafts. It’s like the classic butterfly painting craft with a twist. 

Print and color a super cute standing owl with this printable from Krokotak. This one doesn’t use a paper towel roll but it reminds me of cardboard roll owls like the one from Mom Hacks 101 (I also did one where I just drew on the roll to make an owl that you can find on my blog). The Mom Hacks one has a cute twist in that the way the roll is cut allows the owl to perch on your wrist. 

While we’re on the subject of upcycling materials to make owls, you can also make an owl from a paper cup, with this printable template from Simple Everyday Mom. Or make a paper bag owl like this one from Kids Activity Zone.

Get hands on (LOL) with your owl crafts with this torn paper owl from Non Toy Gifts, which uses handprints as the wings. So cute!

Preschoolers love crowns and headbands, so why not make owl headbands for everyone with this printable form Simple Everyday Mom.

This flapping owl puppet from My Pre K Box is easy to make with a (looks like it’s free when you enter your email) printable, and involves lots of cutting and gluing to work on those fine motor skills. You can also make an owl with moving eyes with this tutorial from Arty Crafty Kids.

Speaking of fine motor skills, you can use an owl craft to practice weaving paper. This printable from Easy Peasy and Fun makes a cute owl with a woven belly that’s so fun to make!

Older kids will enjoy making these pretty owl corner bookmarks from Easy Crafts for Kids. I also love this 3D owl coloring page from Draw Calm, which would be super fun to make and see if you can make it fly.
