How to make it

Safety

Keep shaving cream away from eyes and mouths, and rinse with water if it gets in eyes.

1
Cut paper eggs
Cut 4 egg shapes from cardstock.
2
Spread the foam
Squirt shaving cream on the tray. Have your child spread it flat with their hands.
3
Drip the colors
Drip drops of paint all over the foam.
4
Swirl it
Drag a craft stick through the colors in loops. Don't overmix.
5
Press the egg
Lay an egg on top and pat it gently. Lift it off.
6
Scrape it clean
Scrape the foam off with the ruler edge. The marble pattern stays behind.

Edie's tip

Let the eggs sit 1 minute before scraping. The colors come out brighter.
