Below are some photos of projects we have done this year:

  The kids especially love the marbleized paper projet. Here is the method I used:

 1) Spray about an inch of foam shaving cream ( not gel) on a tray and smooth with a plastic knife or palette knife.

2) Have three different liquid watercolors in cups on the table for children to use. The kids use spoons to drip colors on top of the shaving cream.

3) Next, children use a plastic fork to swirl the colors.

4) Lay a piece of cardstock on top of the shaving cream and lightly push the paper into the shaving cream.

5) Lift the paper off of the tray and use a piece of cardboard to remove excess shaving cream. (the excess can be put right back onto the tray) The shaving cream can be used multiple times.

The watercolors stay vivid and the paper is almost instantly dry.  The chldren are amazed at the colors and designs that are on their paper!
