So Much Fun With "Cloud Paint!"

Grace loves to play with shaving cream, which she calls "cloud paint." This morning Grace enjoyed sitting on our kitchen floor and taking a variety of stencils and pushing them into a tray filled with shaving cream to see their designs. Grace also practiced drawing lines, shapes, and letters with her fingers. Grace later mixed a variety of paint colors into the shaving cream to further add to the fun!Once Grace added paint to the tray of shaving cream she swirled it together using her hands. Grace then put a piece of paper on top of the shaving cream to create marbled paper prints!Here is one of Grace's shaving cream paper prints. Each one of her prints turned out beautifully. Grace then had the absolute best time playing with her cloud paint. It became a total sensory experience for Grace as she covered her hands and feet. I loved hearing Grace giggle as she squeezed the cloud paint in between her fingers and toes!We had just as much fun cleaning up the cloud paint at the sink once Grace was finished. Jack woke up from his nap as we were cleaning up and he enjoyed smelling the cloud paint, feeling it on his fingers, and looking at Grace's cloud paint paper prints. We had so much fun!

Oh me, oh my! This activity would be most children's dream.
Grace, your pictures and designs are very pretty, both on your feet and on the paper. I love the colors that you chose; they are bright and cheerful.
Jack's waking up couldn't have been timed much better.
Love you,
