In the package you will find:

  • Create the marbling base: Spray a thin layer of shaving foam into a shallow tray.
  • Add color: Drop different tempera paints onto the shaving foam.
  • Create patterns: Using the back of a brush, your students gently swirl the paint until beautiful, unique patterns emerge.
  • Press and lift: Your students press their paper design into the colored shaving foam, lift it out again, and scrape off the excess foam with a squeegee.
  • Let dry: Let the artworks dry thoroughly, and the unique winter pictures are finished!

Your students will learn and practice:
