Dad's Beard: A Fun Shaving Activity for Kids!

How to use this worksheet

Place a transparent sheet over the printable face so the marker doesn't mark the worksheet itself. Let your child draw a beard directly onto the transparent sheet using a washable marker, covering the chin and cheek area as they like. Once the beard is drawn, apply a layer of shaving foam over the marker lines. Give your child a small brush and let them 'shave' the foam away in gentle strokes, revealing the clean-shaven face underneath.
