The Weather Outside is Frightful....

But inside, we're having a great time, despite the weather! We are enjoying ourselves even if it is dreary out there!

Today was an art project that produced a WOW effect with lots of oooohs and ahhhhhs! Take shaving cream and smooth it onto a tray. Place dots/squirts of paint on top of the shaving cream. It's good to use lots of colors to get the effect you want. Then, take a plastic knife and draw it through the shaving cream to create a swirly pattern. Place your paper face down into the shaving cream and pat down gently. Let sit in the shaving cream foam for about 1 minute and peel off. Cool! Wow! Awesome! Let sit face up for 5-10 minutes as the paint soaks into the paper. Then, take a ruler, squeegie or other flat item to scrape the foam off in one stroke. Add glitter if desired. Super duper cool...a true marbled effect as the paint sticks and the foam is wiped away. We even had a request for a redux of it this afternoon. We love it!

We did get the opportunity to play on the patio today with our purple sand sensory table, ride our trikes and build with our tracks. Hopefully we can do this again this afternoon!

Have a great day everyone!
