My sensory loving kids love the mess that shaving cream can become! We started off with cookie trays turned upside down for trays and a squirt of shaving cream. Then I added a bit of tempra for color.
Then we placed a piece of finger paint paper over the top to make a print. Freezer paper works well too.
Then it the shaving cream started covering feet and legs..
At this point I went in to finish dinner and took the camera with me. I could hear them squealing with delight through the kitchen window and when I came back out they were completely white! All except for eye balls. I didn’t get a final shot but I am sure you can imagine the sight. A quick dip in the baby pool and it was all gone! Before bed tonight Ginger told me next time she wants me to put grubby clothes on and have a shaving cream fight with them.
Tonight Joe and I attended the Opening Reception for the Fine Arts Exhibit of The Ohio State Fair. One of my photographs was accepted in the show. I felt so proud to be brushing elbows and guzzling all the free local wine we could with the other artists! If you are local and are planning on attending the Fair-check out all the great art in the Fine Arts building. My photo is on the back wall in the case. You can even purchase it!
When we were kids, our babysitter used to let us play with piles of shaving cream on her kitchen table. We were horrified at the prospect at first, but she looked at us funny and said “It’s soap! You’ll be cleaning the table.”
We never looked back.
Denvers developmental therapist recommended shaving cream in the bath. Spraying on the walls and drawing and writing. She loved it.
I wish I could see your pic, and buy it!
And it’s a wonderful photo! And we had a good time chugging wine with you.
I almost felt guilty this morning for drinking 3 glasses of wine, so much so that I considered going to their winery and buying a bottle or two. Then I remembered what they said to T about only serving each guest one glass and thought, that’s such BS. Screw’em!
Hey, have you ever thought of putting prints up on Etsy? Just a thought.
How incredibly fun. Are the pictures something you can keep or a one day experience?It’s supposed to be an incredibly hot weekend maybe some shaving cream fun followed by the sprinkler or pool is called for.
Congrats on your fair photo!
Thanks so much for the idea to do this!! I got the link off a kid craft blog and I have to say the kids had an absolute blast! We did it inside on the table because we already have snow here so its a good way to spend a boring winter day inside too.
