Shaving Cream and Glow Bath

This picture makes me happy.

I thought Xury would enjoy playing with shaving cream but, as you can see, everyone wanted in on the fun.

,

Xury loved smearing it around the table and squishing it through her fingers

but once she started washing her hair with it, she left to have a bath while the others stayed and played.

 They used paint, water and medicine droppers to create swirly, twirly shaving cream art.

We marbleized paper by adding paint to the shaving cream,

pressing the paper onto the it,

 

and then, scraping off the excess.

We've done this at the Children's museum before but this was the first time we tried it at home.

I added cornstarch and made a squishy, doughy concoction but everybody else was too busy squirting and mixing paint to care very much.

I thought it was cool.

Then, last night we decide to have a glow bath. 

Set up was as simple as throwing glow sticks in the tub, adding bubbles and turning off the lights.

Again, this was intended for Xury but everybody wanted to join in.. However, due to tub capacity (and weirdness factor) I had to limit it to just the younger two. They put on bathing suits so everyone could come in and check out the awesome effect. It made for some really cool pictures too.

Xury was a little hesitant at first but changed her mind once she discovered the glow sticks buried beneath the bubbles.

They played til their fingers and toes wrinkled.
