No mess collaborative painting activity using

paint and shaving cream.  Fun for the whole family!

Choose colours that represent this season

for you and add a little sparkle if you wish!

What you need:

1. large garbage bag
2. a piece of bristol board
3. paint
4. shaving cream
5. clear shower curtain or table cloth
6. masking tape or duct tape

Steps:

1. Put a large garbage bag flat on table.
2. Lay Bristol board over the garbage bag.
3. Squirt paint  and shaving cream in small blobs on Bristol board.
4. Lay plastic table cloth or shower curtain over the paint and use tape to secure the edges under the table.
5. Rub with your hands to move and mix the paint and shaving cream!

However if you want to do this on a much smaller

scale,  use a large ziploc bag!

Looking for a creative way to paint with your child?

I was looking through old StrongStart photos and found one

of a painting activity we did many years ago.

Painting with a magnet and paper clip!!

All you need is:

1.  a tray
2. paper
3. paint
4. paper clip
5. a strong magnet

Place the paper on the tray and a small amount of paint.  Then place the paper clip on the paper and the magnet on the bottom of the tray.  Move the magnet around and watch the magic happen!!
