shaving cream painting



Bath time with a toddler is always fun, but why not add a little extra excitment tonight?  We colored men's shaving cream with food coloring in a tupperware container.  What a cheap, fun, and educational night in the bathtub!  Not only will your toddler get to explore their senses with the foam cream, but also colors and color mixing.  And believe me this will get them talking up a storm as they explore new things to do with it.  Claire started with a paint brush, but quickly went to using her hands.  The walls were painted, shower door, faucet, and her whole body.  She even started dipping her animal bathtoys in the foam to wash them.  I think she enjoyed clean up as much as making a mess.  I didn't let her sit in the foamy water too long b/c I didn't want it to irritate her skin.  She loved having the water running to fill her cup to wash off. 
We then turned on the shower for the final clean up.  Have fun!
