I've been really into all things tie-dye lately and was inspired to make a craft. Since we're a Disney family, Mickey Mouse was the first thing that came to mind. Using things I already had on hand, I put together this Marble Paper Mickey Craft with my kids. It's fun, easy (like most of my crafts) really looks like marbled paper or tie-dye!

How to make the Marble Paper Mickey Craft
Before you start, prepare for a mess and set your bin in an area you can easily wipe clean afterward. I suggest using a cheap tablecloth to work on, so clean-up is easy and fast. Also, food coloring can stain, so keep that in mind when choosing your kid's clothing.
Now you're ready to craft!
- Print out the Mickey Mouse outline template on Cardstock for a sturdier paper.
- Fill your bin with a generous amount of shaving cream.
- Add drops of food coloring in colors of your choice.
- Use a craft stick to mix the shaving cream and create a marble/tie-dye effect.
- Place your Mickey Mouse template over the shaving cream and press down gently for a few seconds.
- Lift your paper and scrape off all excess shaving cream.
- Set aside to dry for a few minutes.
- Cut out and glue to another Cardstock.
- Hang up and enjoy your craft!

If you want to do more than one piece of paper, scrape off the top layer of the shaving cream in the bin and add a fresh amount. Redo the steps and do it all over again!
The best part of this craft is that it can be turned into a sensory activity afterward. If your child is interested, let them play with the shaving cream when you're done with the craft. It's a fun experience, and even if it's a little messy, it's easy to wipe and clean up.
