Kiddo Craft-o's: Shaving Cream

Ever done any marbelizing with shaving cream?? This craft is a blast for kiddo's. Here's what you need:

Shaving Cream

Disposable aluminum pans

Food coloring

spoon

craft sticks

straight piece of card board

Sheet of Aluminum foil (bigger than the piece of paper)

plain white paper

~Cut paper to a size small enough to fit into the pan.

~Lay out the sheet of aluminum foil

~Fill the pan with shaving cream and smooth it out flat with the spoon. 

~Drop several different colored drops of food coloring onto the cream (you need only 2 or 3 drops per color).

~Using the craft sticks, swirl around the shaving cream until you make a pattern that you like.

~Press the paper (lightly) down onto the color pattern and leave it there for 10 seconds.

~Pull the paper off and set it down on the sheet of aluminum foil, shaving cream side up.

~Use the cardboard to scrape the remaining shaving cream off the paper and either save it for further use or toss it, mood depending. :-) 

~The marbelized cream should last at least 4 or 5 times, then you'll either want to add more drops or get new cream.

**My most important tip for this craft is to make sure the children understand that they are playing with Shaving Cream and NOT Whipped Cream. :-) 

**I used some Neon food coloring I found at Hannaford....never seen it before but the kiddo's loved the colors!!
