Cloud Pictures

Activity for an individual child

Age group: 18-40 months

Duration of activity: 15 minutes

Materials:

  • Nonmenthol shaving cream
  • White craft glue
  • Thick paintbrushes

Your child will learn a bit about clouds and explore a unique texture with this project. Older toddlers can first color a landscape picture to use as a backdrop.

  1. Mix the shaving cream and glue in equal portions.
  2. Have your child use this mixture as a paint to create cloud forms. The fluffy mixture will dry and become stiff.
