What to do? Wednesday

If you’re up for a little mess (but a lot of fun), try this activity.

1.  Mix 2 parts shaving cream with 1 part white glue.  (You can actually experiment with different ratios but what good are instructions without a little guidance?)

2.  Optional: Cover your child adequately for a messy activity.  This paint is washable, hence the “optional.”

3.  Optional:  Color your paint with food coloring or tempera.  Ours was already blue from the shaving cream.  I also only made one color because Ty was more interested in the process than the product.  The older two may have wanted colors to create a more representative picture.

4.  Have fun painting a tray or piece of cardstock.

5.  If on cardstock, hang picture to dry.  The paint dries raised.  Pretty cool.
