Shaving Cream
Start with pouring shaving cream in a bowl. You do not have to measure the quantity, but take as much as you think can be enough to draw something on a board. You also do not have to worry about the quality and branding aspect of the shaving cream because almost all shaving creams can be used in making the paint. However, read the expiry date carefully and better avoid use of expired cream, it can cause some reactions or side-effects if you or your children use the paint with bare hands. -

Add White Glue
Make the paint sticky by adding some white glue to it. Take the glue quantity lesser than the shaving cream, although there is no specifically recommended scale for the glue. Adding glue is essential as it can make the paint more sticky. -

Stir Ingredients
With help of a table spoon or a piece of wood, stir both content while holding the bowl tightly. Do not let the bowl shake because it can spill out the shaving cream, which is very light and soft. Continue stirring until you find both contents mixed with each other thoroughly and turned into a thick and sticky paste. -

Add Colour
You can also add some powder paint, food colouring or normal paint to give the shaving cream puffy paint a colour so the piece of art you want to paint will appear in great colour. Stir the paint after you have added it to the shaving cream and glue paste so that colour is mixed entirely in the paint. -
