Shaving Cream, Food Colors, & Card Stock


We did this really neat project a while back. I took two large baking dishes and put about an inch of shaving cream at the bottom. First I let the boys play in the shaving cream a bit...such fun...then we added drops of different colors and mixed with a stick. (Food coloring stains your fingers so you don't want to mix with your hands!) The lay a piece of paper on top of the colored cream, remove, and wipe off shaving cream. Wa-la! You have beautiful paper...for framing or using as stationary. It's really cool!

Valentine's Craft

We made Valentine decorations today :)
We took coffee filters and cut big hearts...then made some little cuts (like snowflakes) on them. We painted them with watercolors and hung them in the window. SO cute! These pics don't do them justice because the lighting wasn't right.
