Ingredients
For the Foam
- 1-2 cups shaving cream Opt for unscented or kid-safe options for added safety.
- 1-2 tablespoons dish soap or bubble bath A mild detergent can serve as a good substitute if needed.
- 1 cup warm water Use tap water at a comfortable temperature for best results.
For the Color & Extras
- food coloring or liquid watercolors (optional) Natural colorings can be a safer choice if you're concerned about synthetic products.
- glycerin or corn syrup (optional) It's not required, but it certainly helps the foam last longer!
Instructions
Steps to Make
- In a bowl or plastic bin, mix together 1–2 cups of shaving cream, 1–2 tablespoons of dish soap or bubble bath, and 1 cup of warm water. Stir gently to combine into a creamy mixture.
- Vigorously whisk the mixture until fluffy foam forms. If you’re using glycerin or corn syrup, add it now and whisk again for extra bubble fun!
- Incorporate a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolors into the foam, stirring gently to achieve vibrant hues that catch the eye.
- Place the foam-filled bin on a flat surface or go outside to make cleanup a breeze. Set up another bin with clean water for rinsing off toys afterward.
- Provide toy cars, mini brushes, or sponges so your little ones can scrub, rinse, and explore hands-on play with the bubbly foam!
- Keep a towel handy to dry off toys and children’s hands. Using warm water will make the cleanup process quick and easy!
Notes
Add a dash of glitter to the foam for a sparkly touch! Best used fresh after preparation. Discard any leftover foam after 1–2 hours of play.
