We had a lot of fun with this cupcake template. My kids were entertained for a good bit which is always nice. I want to share with you the different ways we used this printable.

⭐ Fun ideas for the templates

There are so many fun ways to use these cupcake templates. The large template is what is shown below.

⭐ Tempura paint sticks

The first way we used the cupcake template was by using tempura paint sticks. My kids love using these paint sticks to do art projects with. I love them because they’re not messy like traditional paint.

⭐ How to make a puffy paint cupcake

The next project we did with this cupcake template was puffy paint. To make puffy paint combine equal parts non-toxic white glue and shaving cream and a few drops of food coloring. Any brand will do. I usually use about ¼ cup of both shaving cream and glue then add a few drops of coloring until it is the right color.

I recommend you put some newspaper or scratch paper down because the puffy paint can seep through regular paper.

⭐ How to make a glitter cupcake

I know glitter can be messy but it is also so much fun! To make a glitter cupcake, rub a glue stick on the parts you’d like to be covered in glitter. Next add some glitter and shake! We shook ours over a trash can so that glitter didn’t get every where.
