Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup shaving cream (unscented)
- 1 cup white school glue (Elmer’s)
- 1/2 cup of water
- Food coloring (red and blue)
- 1 packet of Pop-Rocks candy
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or spatula

Instructions
- Prepare Your Mixing Space: Clear your workspace and lay down some newspaper or a plastic sheet to catch any drips.
- Mix Glue and Water: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of white school glue with 1/2 cup of water. Stir well to ensure they meld into a smooth mixture.
- Add Shaving Cream: Gradually fold in 1 cup of shaving cream. Mix gently to keep the mixture light and airy. Avoid over-mixing.
- Add Color: Separate the foam mixture into two bowls. In one bowl, add a few drops of red food coloring; in the other, add blue. Stir gently until the colors are vibrant but combined carefully to maintain a foamy texture.
