    Easter is coming up, and we have been thinking about new and creative ways to dye Easter eggs. Dying eggs is one of those traditional spring activities for kids. But making Shaving Cream Easter Eggs are a new twist on an old classic.

    We have played with shaving cream a lot in the past. I thought we would revisit shaving cream and add some food coloring and use that to dye our eggs. I think the results are quite eye-catching, don't you think? Prepare for some messy fun!

    Frequently asked questions

    Can you eat shaving cream Easter eggs?

    No, they are not edible. Use them as decorations only.

    Can I use gel food coloring instead of liquid food coloring on these shaving cream eggs?

    Yes, gel food coloring will provide a slightly bolder color while liquid food coloring will provide a more pastel appearance.
