Painting Shaving Cream Activity

To celebrate Valentine’s month, Beckett enjoyed a painting (and eating) shaving cream activity with red, pink, and yellow paint colors. It made for some personality pictures that I’ll treasure. It’s a simple, inexpensive activity using things I already had:

 

It bought me all of 4 minutes of free time, but he seemed to enjoy it, and it broke up the monotony of being at home It was even mesmerizing for me to swirl the paint! I don’t recommend those colors though, because it looks a bit like hamburger condiments, ha! I also recommend getting your little one naked! I have no idea why I didn’t do that! Good thing it’s all washable!

We’ll definitely revisit this activity in a few weeks. If you end up painting shaving cream, share your pictures with us! 🙂
