The kids loved this project, and the results were quite beautiful! The first step was so fun and exciting: filling the tub with shaving cream! They couldn't believe it. Comments were flying about how it smelled, all the things it looked like, what it must feel like. . . Second step was adding paint. We talked about what colors we should add if we are making the leaves look like fall leaves. Third step was another hit: stirring it up! In fact, they did not want to stop stirring. The way it stuck to the stir sticks, and the way the colors transformed. . . it was mesmerizing! Then, we took leaf shapes (pre-cut card stock) and pressed them into the colored shaving cream. When we pulled them out, they were beautifully marbled! What a fun use of sensory and art modalities.
