I found this idea on Pinterest and knew my kiddos would have fun making their own little puffy paint snowmen.
It is really easy to mix up the ‘paint’ – 1 part shaving cream and 1 part pva glue.
I made up a bowl for each kiddo and used 1/3 cup of each shaving cream and pva glue for each bowl and this was PLENTY. I’d probably just make up the 1 bowl with 1/3 cup each next time for my two.
Just mix the shaving cream and glue together.
And paint!
Easy yes!?
Then we decorated our snowmen with eyes and noses and buttons etc.
We also used a teeny bit of this ‘paint’ on the bottom of our Snowman fingerprint canvases :o} Gives it a little bit of a 3D effect. :o}
It is quite puffy and thick when you first use it but it does not dry as thick :o} It did take ours to dry overnight before you could touch it.
If you would like a simple Snowman outline for this or any other fun snowmen crafts you can download ours here. It is A4 size :o}
Thanks so much for posting this! I made a cotton ball snowman with my little guy last week and was looking for a simple snowman template. I blogged our snowman, and linked back here for the template! Thanks!

Hi, just wanted to say thank you for the template. I’ve just printed a load off for the toddlers at the group I run to colour in/cover in glue and cotton wool 🙂
Great idea, just spend a lovely time making xmas cards with my 1yo and 4yo. We tinted one batch of the fluffy paint green and used it for xmas trees. Thanks for the instructions.
