Sam really enjoyed our shaving foam painting experiement. The method means that there's always a certain amount of excitment about how the painting will turn out!
You will need:
Shaving foam
Watercolour paint in various colours and shades
Lolly stick or skewer
Tray
Paper
Thick scrap card (old box)
Instructions:
Fill a tray with shaving foam. This is definitely fun!

Peel off and use scrap card to scrape off the foam. As this will further spread the paint, scrape from the middle to the sides.
