An Activity for Preschoolers:
Use Colorations® No-Drip Foam Paint as a pretend “frosting” for making colorful
cupcakes! Great for imaginary play and developing fine motor skills!

Before You Begin:
Gather Colorations® No-Drip Foam Paint and craft cups.

Activity Goals:
Explore color mixing
Develop fine motor sk ills
Enjoy pretend play time.

Furthermore:
Use materials such as glitter or sequins as “cupcake sprinkles” to add extra sparkle to
these “cupcakes.” Also, don’t throw away the cupcakes. Each one can be used to create a
marbled paint picture!

Steps:

  1. Separate craft cups.
  2. Spray a layer of Colorations® No-Drip Foam Paint into craft cups.
  3. Spray a different color of foam paint into a plastic baggie and seal. Cut off one corner of
    the baggie.
  4. Just like real “frosting,” squeeze the foam paint out of the end of the plastic bag and onto
    the “cupcake” to make a layer of “frosting.”
