Fun activity – Shaving cream painting
categories: Parenting
Yesterday we tried out an activity that I had been wanting to do with B1 and B2 for a while now. They love getting messy and they love arts and crafts, although, I have not been brave enough to let them go crazy with paint just yet.
Bring out the shaving cream!
Yes it was messy, though shaving cream is easily cleaned off tiles, bodies and clothes.
B1 and B2 had a ball. I must admit Mummy may have had a bit of fun too.
Easy, cheap entertainment. We will definitely be doing this again.
Great for a rainy day activity.
Linking up with the wonderful:

It was shaving cream beards that we used to get in the bath. We all became Santa.

Sneak a breath every now and then though 
I considered adding a little food colouring to the shaving cream next time, which would work well on white tiles. Though, as I havn’t tried it myself yet, I can’t guarantee there would be no staining. I have read about some home made bath finger paints that I wanted to try and they have food colouring in them, so I am sure it would be fine. You’re welcome to try it out first and let me know if my walls will be safe haha.

Never thought of using the bathroom as a canvas — how fun! Thanks so much for sharing on Busy Monday!
