Today’s crafty thing comes from my kids. I bought shaving cream to test the anti-fogging properties on glasses (it doesn’t work). When my kids saw the shaving cream they wanted to get their hands in it! Ok? I gave them each a baking pan and they emptied the little can. They asked for color, so I pulled out the soap colorants I had in the cupboard (food coloring stains skin, so we avoided that). My eldest learned a marbling technique in art class and showed me how that works. So cool!

When the kids were done, I played a little. I mixed up their colored foam, added more color, and swirled it with a tooth pick. Then I pressed a piece of paper down gently on the top.

I made three prints, added some blue, and did three more prints. I ran out of room on the table at that point, but I think I could have continued to print!

If you do an image search on “shaving cream marbling” people have achieved some really gorgeous results.
