experiments using shaving cream

Three Shaving Cream Experiments You Can Do Anywhere

Krystal DeVille

Updated on: January 24, 2024

The properties of shaving cream make an excellent base for a myriad of experiments.

Plus, it allows tiny hands to become very messy while learning scientific principles. From foamy explosions to endothermic reactions (safe, of course!), we show the most creative experiment with shaving cream that will keep young children amazed!

Shaving Cream Experiments

Most of these experiments are very easy to use but are extremely messy. Be sure that clothes are protected, and tables are covered while making some of them. Then, be prepared for some messy fun!

Shaving Cream Alternative

Due to age, many people may not want to have young children playing with shaving cream because they could ingest it. To avoid this, you can make your own aquafaba . Aquafaba is a vegan alternative to using egg whites. It creates a foam that is like shaving cream inconsistency by using a can of chickpeas.

To make it, strain the liquid from the chickpeas and spend a few minutes beating them with a mixer. The liquid should quickly transform into a stiff foam. You can add a tiny bit of cream of tartar to the mixture to increase the stiffness.

1. Shaving Cream Rain Clouds

• Age Range: Toddler to elementary school
• Total Time: 5 minutes
• Difficulty Level: Easy

This experiment is quick and easy. Parents can use it to demonstrate how weather works by using this simple methodology.

The shaving cream is representative of a cloud, while water is the atmosphere. When food coloring is added to the shaving cream, the weight will push through the shaving cream as rain bursts through clouds and reaches the earth.

Have fun with it and let them try different colors!

It’s probably better to do this STEM activity outside if the weather is nice. As your kids are filling up their cups with shaving cream, the cup can easily knock over.

• Food coloring (with Vibrant colors)
• Clear Jar/Container
• Shaving Cream

Instructions:

• Fill a clear container ¾ full of water.
• Shake the shaving cream to get foam.
• Place a layer of shaving cream on the top of the water to represent clouds. Ensure that you cover the surface of the water completely with shaving cream.
• Add lots of food coloring over top of the shaving cream. This will be the rain.
• Watch as the food coloring filters through the “clouds” and into the water as rain.

The Science Behind the Experiment

Clouds are formed when water vapor rises back into the air. Condensation builds in the clouds as a result of the dampness in the atmosphere. As the vapor becomes heavier, gravity eventually pulls water down from the clouds and falls from the sky. This is the rain we see on earth.

We love STEM activities at our house and finding new and interesting ways of exploring. A great way of finding something new is not to look further, but to look closer. Please join us in our Microscope Activities Guide ; we explore by seeing what we can’t see.

2. Snow Fluff

• Age Range: Toddler to Pre-K
• Total Time: 10 minutes
• Difficulty Level: Easy (for parents)

This science experiment is simple, and children will love getting their hands dirty making this snow fluff. It will provide hours of entertainment for them as well.

• Food coloring
• 1 cup shaving cream
• 1 cup corn starch
• Pour the cornstarch into a big bowl. Using a spoon, scoop shaving cream on top of the corn starch. Place 5-10 drops of food coloring on top of the mixture. Stir the mixture until everything is perfectly blended.
• When the mix has a grated cheese appearance, squish the mix with your hands even more.
• After a while, it will form a ball that will have a dough-like texture.
• If the mix is very wet and sticky, it may require additional corn starch. If it’s crumbly, add more shaving cream.
• Now, the mixture is ready. It can now be sculpted into snow creatures.

Small bits of corn starch become mixed with the shaving cream. They suspend in the mixture to create color. The shaving cream has many minuscule bubbles. The surface tension on the top of those bubbles helps the corn starch “float” the particles when the two are combined.

3. It’s Snowing!

• Age Range: Pre-K to elementary school

This is a great fake snow experiment that is fun to do indoors during warm weather.

The best part is that it’s not as cold, and you don’t have to bundle the kids up to go outside! It illustrates an endothermic reaction.

It looks a lot like the Snow Fluff experiment that my kids did above, but the texture is different. It feels kind of dry and not slimy like the Snow Fluff.

• Foaming shaving cream
• 1 lb baking soda

This experiment makes enough fake snow for two children to use. The recipe’s proportions will have to be changed for additional kids. While the chemical reaction is on the cold side, the foam shaving cream can be placed in the refrigerator a few hours before the experiment to make it colder.

If you’d like, cover your table during the experiment. None of the ingredients are toxic or harmful. However, the powdery consistency of the baking soda can be very messy.

• Pour all the baking soda into a big bowl.
• Place half a can of shaving cream into the mixture. It should have enough shaving cream to coat the top of the baking soda three to four inches in depth.
• Stir the mixture slowly while scraping the bottom of the bowl to combine the entire box of baking soda. As they mix, powdery snow-like flakes will begin to appear. Furthermore, it is a bit cold like snow. If the shaving cream is too much for the baking soda to cling to then sprinkle more baking soda.
• Spill it out onto a table and enjoy creating things with snow.

STEM Education Guide Tip: Put your shaving cream in the refrigerator and the freezer for a little bit before starting this science experiment. That way it will feel more like snow!

To Further Enhance the Fun…

What kid doesn’t like to see an explosion? Curious children asked whether vinegar added to the mixture would cause it to explode. To do this, add white vinegar to a bowl and place the “snow” in it. This will turn the snow into a fizzy, volcanic explosion.

For more easy experiments that will fizzle and pop, please take a look at our article, Fun & Easy Baking Soda and Vinegar Experiments for Kids .

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) when mixed with sorbitol/lanolin/acid compound of the shaving cream generates a cool mixture. This is called an endothermic reaction. This is a great experiment because this is a difficult experiment to demonstrate endothermic reactions without using chemicals.

These are just a few experiments that you can conduct with shaving cream. Shaving cream provides a foamy backdrop for hours of fun teaching scientific principles to young children. In addition to the children learning, they can spend hours engaging in tactile fun.

4. Shaving Cream Color Lines

• Baking sheet
• Small painting brush
• Food coloring or paints

In this shaving cream experiment, I wanted my daughter to think of new colors when base colors are mixed. She knows a few of them like blue and red make purple, but she had to guest on other ones.

That’s why this activity is great! It will be easier for her to remember how base colors mix because she had fun learning how.

How to set Shaving Cream Color Lines Up:

On a piece of paper have your kids write out the base colors. Red plus blue equals, Yellow plus red equals, etc.

Make a few lines of shaving cream on the baking sheet with the shaving cream

Add the base paints or food coloring drops to the lines.

With a paintbrush, your kids will mix the base colors together to find out what new colors are made. On the piece of paper, they can record their findings.

Color mixing is essentially a process where a secondary color is generated by mixing the appropriate proportion of base primary colors. Mixing paints or colors together is a great opportunity for your kids’ to observe changes around them.

5. Shaving Cream Art

This shaving cream art activity goes along with the shaving cream color lines above, because you’ll already have all the material out on the table.

Since this activity is more STEAM (art) than STEM, I asked her what she wanted to draw. My daughter wanted to draw the face in the shaving cream. She started by drawing the face on a piece of paper, then adding drops of color in areas where it would need to go.

The next step was fun; she pushed and pulled the drops of color in the shaving cream with the paint brushing, making a face on the shaving cream canvas.

Wrapping Up

I like STEM experiments with shaving cream because most of them don’t need special materials. In fact, I already had everything at home that I needed.

They can be done inside or out. I didn’t find these experiments that messy so I didn’t mind doing them inside, but it’s up to you.

If you’d like some structured experiments that are easy to set up, please take a look at our Yellow Scope Chemistry review that I did with my daughter.

Shaving Cream Rain Clouds Science Experiment

Shaving cream rain clouds are a funny and easy science project that illustrates key science concepts, such as density, mixing, and how clouds work. Once you master the basics, turn the project into a science experiment by tweaking the materials and methods.

All you need are a few basic materials from home:

• Shaving cream
• Food coloring
• Glass or jar

Let’s Make Shaving Cream Clouds!

• Fill the glass mostly full of cold water. Why use cold water? The reason is because warmer water more readily degrades the shaving cream and also disperses the food coloring.
• Dispense a “cloud” of shaving cream on top of the water. Don’t make the layer too think or else the food coloring won’t make it all the way to the water.
• Add drops of food coloring to the top of the clouds. Blue is the traditional color for rain, but you can explore color theory if you get creative.
• Watch as the food coloring “rain” falls from the shaving cream “cloud”.

The Science Behind Shaving Cream Rain Clouds

Shaving cream floats on water because it has a lower density than water. Similarly, clouds float in the atmosphere, even though the average cumulus cloud weighs over one million pounds. It hardly seems possible that a cloud doesn’t just sink to the ground! Keep two facts in mind. First, clouds are huge, so they rest on top of a gigantic air column. Second, clouds kind of do fall, when you think about it.

When a nimbus cloud (the type of cloud that produces precipitation ) holds more water than the air can support, the excess falls as rain, snow, or sometimes hail. Similarly, when you drip food coloring onto shaving cream, it is heavier than the foam and falls through the fake cloud. Eventually it enters the water (the “atmosphere” in this project).

The food coloring consists of pigment and water. It readily mixes with the water. If two different colored drops come into contact or mix together in the water, you get new colors.

Turn the Science Project Into a Science Experiment

Performing the shaving cream rain clouds project fulfills the first step of the scientific method , which is making observations. From your observations, think of things you can change about the project and make a prediction about the effect of this change. In other words, form a hypothesis and conduct an experiment that tests this hypothesis. Finally, evaluate the results of your experiment and decide whether you accept or reject your hypothesis. Often, this process gives you ideas for new experiments.

Here are some ideas:

• Examine the effect of water temperature on cloud stability and “rain” formation.
• Can you replace the shaving cream with another material? Examples might include whipped cream or egg whites.
• What happens if you introduce another layer between the water and shaving cream? For example, do you get “rain” if there is a thin layer of vegetable oil on top of the water? (Hint: This is the basis for the fireworks in a glass project.)
• What happens if you use paint, colored sugar, or ink instead of food coloring?
• Does changing the size or shape of the container affect the outcome?
• Predict what happens if you replace water with another liquid, such as oil or milk.
