Materials:
Large, shallow plastic tub
One full can of shaving cream
Red and blue food coloring
Glitter (optional)
Red, white, and blue plastic straws
Directions: Shake the can of shaving cream thoroughly. Spray the full can into the tub as evenly as possible. Distribute a few drops of red food coloring evenly throughout the shaving cream. Do the same with the blue food coloring. Sprinkle some glitter if you wish. Give your child some plastic straws to swirl through the shaving cream, mixing the colors and creating designs. Invariably, the children like to do some of the swirls with their fingers. This is a favorite activity of the Acorn kids!
