Manic Monday: Shaving Cream Paint

Week #5: Shaving Cream Paint

You will need:

Shaving Cream
Food Coloring
Paint Brushes

Another simple idea, but fun!  We used leftover icee cups, put a dollop of shaving cream (from Dollar Tree), then added drops of food coloring into each one. We also mixed colors.  Before it's all said and done, my kids will easily know the color combinations because we are ALWAYS mixing colors!  This was one of our more successful projects, they were engaged in this activity for a long time, and that's what I like.  We used the paints in the bathtub, but you could use them on thick paper, like card stock or construction paper as well.  I also gave them sponges and had them clean the shaving cream off when they were done.  My kids love helping clean up and this is a way to let them take their time and have fun with it.
