Shaving Cream and Food Coloring
- In a tin cooking container, smooth out shaving cream, drip food coloring in various ways on top, use a stick or string to swirl the food coloring, lay paper flat on top, peel off abstract image, use a piece of cardboard to scrap off extra shaving cream, Result is a crazy, swirly fun piece of art
- Draw a scene or image on a Styrofoam plate with a pen, makes sure the lines are traced at least twice. Color it with washable markers, use damp sponge to wet a separate piece of paper. Lay the damp paper on top of the plate and rub. Peel off to reveal the image
- Draw on a white piece of paper with crayon. On separate piece of foil (as long and as wide as the paper) color random washable marker paper. Wet the paper with damp sponge, place the colored aluminum foil on top. Peel the white paper off, and the washable marker on the foil will peel off onto the white paper drawing.
