Shaving Cream Painting Craft for Earth Day
Earth Day is a great opportunity to talk to your kids about caring for the world we live in. We enjoy planting flowers together and taking a nature walk. But we also love doing some fun crafts like our Earth Day Craft preschoolers love! It’s a super cute one to make together.
This shaving cream painting craft is a bit more messy but that’s what makes it fun! We’ve included affiliate links for some supplies you might need as well as some of our favorite Earth Day books!
Since we make a lot of paper plate crafts, this one also uses a paper plate!

- Spread the colored shaving cream on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and mix together a bit.
- Press a paper plate into the shaving cream and make sure the front is completely coated.
- Use a craft stick to scrape off the shaving cream and wipe off the excess shaving cream with paper towel.
- Let dry and display.

What I love about this shaving cream painting craft is that it’s really so versatile! You can change up the colors to make it look completely different! Use pastel colors and cut your plates into eggs shapes around Easter! Use red and pink with heart shapes around Valentine’s Day! Turn them into ornaments at Christmas!
By changing up the colors, you can have fun any time!
