Mixing shaving cream and food coloring is one of O's all time favorite activities. She loves to swirl the colors together to see what happens. We pressed a sheet of white cardstock onto the shaving cream and then wiped it off to make a pretty picture. Then O proceeded to cover herself in shaving cream. She had so much fun and made SUCH a mess! Luckily, we were doing this messy activity out on the screened porch! I brought out pitcher after pitcher of water and poured it over her before I let her come in the house :)
The children at our preschool LOVED playing and painting with the shave creme.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun. I did shaving cream finger painting with my children one day, but they weren't into the mess. I was so disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI just want to scoop my hands through it!
ReplyDeleteGee, THANKS! This reminds me that I haven't used shaving cream with my 3 yo. My 8 yo has had plenty! :D
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I did this with my two oldest when they were preschool age - they are now 16 and 14 - thanks for the reminder as I am sure my 2 and six year old would have a blast.
