Why not try cutting your foam into shapes? You could even create a few painting sponges using the offcuts. Be sure to keep that paint away from any nice new cushions you may have recently made though!

You can turn your foam into any shape you or the kids choose. Make sure that you’ve got plenty of paper and paint sets to hand. The kids are sure to love making some homemade pieces of art using your leftover foam.
