Description
Soft, squishy, and irresistibly fluffy — this cornstarch and shaving cream foam dough is a sensory play favorite! Great for little hands and imaginative minds.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup shaving cream (not gel, but foamy shaving cream)
- Food coloring (optional, for colorful fun)
Instructions
- Mix It Up: Start by adding shaving cream to a large mixing bowl. If you want to add some color, drop in a few drops of food coloring and gently stir to combine.
- Add Cornstarch: Gradually add the cornstarch to the bowl, mixing continuously with a spoon or your hands.
- Combine and Knead: Once the ingredients are loosely combined, knead the dough with your hands. You’ll notice it quickly transforms into a fluffy, pliable dough. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more cornstarch. If it’s too dry, a small squirt of shaving cream should do the trick.
- Play Time: Your foam dough is ready! Squish it, roll it, shape it into animals or towers — the possibilities are endless.
- Storage: Store unused dough in an airtight container. It’s best used within a day for optimal texture.
Notes
Try using different food coloring for each batch to make a rainbow of foam dough. Add glitter or essential oils for extra fun. Always supervise small children during play.
