Fun with Shaving Cream

Nicole, our parent educator from the Bright Beginnings program came over last Friday morning. She brought a fun shaving cream activity for the kids. She squirted some shaving cream on wax paper in front of each of them. She put liquid watercolor (various colors) in an ice cube tray. Each child got a pipette and used it to "color" the shaving cream.

Here is Nicole explaining the project.

Nathan was excited about his colorful creation.


Evan just stared at the shaving cream for a long time.

Daddy helped Evan get engaged in the activity.

After they colored the shaving cream, they took a piece of construction paper and pressed it onto their pile of shaving cream. They put the paper in a tub and scraped off the shaving cream with a shower squeegee. The result was a cool multi-colored piece of paper. Andrew wanted to do the process over and over.

Oh no! Dirty hands!
