Discover how to make your own sheets of colorful marbled paper at this month’s Hands-on Houston!
Learn how to add color to shaving cream in order to create an abstract swirly pattern for your paper. Experiment with this sensory activity by choosing from different neon and metallic colors. Once you remove the excess shaving cream, your unique design will be revealed. Your finished paper sheets can be used as stationery, a background for drawing, or as artwork!
Note: This activity will take place indoors and is on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last. The event is subject to change or cancellation in response to current COVID-19 conditions.
