Need: 1/2
cup flour, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup salt.
Mix everything together. I also added silver glitter into the mixture to
really give the mixture some pizzazz! When it dried (we painted
snowflakes to hand from the ceiling), it really sparkled!

Need: 1
part white glue, 1 part shaving cream, electric beater
Things to extant play
Glitter
Squeeze bottles
Objects to hide
food coloring
Directions: Mix equal parts of the shaving
cream then glue in a bowl. Mix with an electric beater for a minute
or two. Now you can add what you choose- food coloring or glitter.
If using it for art I suggest pouring it into squeeze bottles. If
you use it in the sensory table hide objects in it. (I usually use acorns,
plastic toys- anything that will surprise the children when they wash it
off.)
The children will love the feel, texture, and the uses. The surprise
after it has dried can be surprising for children too.
Bubble Bath Finger

Need: 2
cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, food coloring, bubble bath (not the foamy
type), water
Directions: Mix
water with the flour until you get a paste. Add food coloring and bubble
bath until you get the thickness you like. This works well in the bath
tub. They can paint themselves or the walls and it washes right off. It
may turn the water the color of the food coloring but it wont stain the
child.

Watercolor Paint

Need: paper, watercolor paints, water, craft
stick, Styrofoam meat try, shaving cream
Directions: If you have seen the new
watercolor paint and the fun things you can do with it, there is a less
expensive way to make it. Pop out two of the paint tablets in Crayola
Watercolor paint kits and put in a jar with a good sealing lid with some
water and let dissolve. Takes about 15 minutes. Next, take a sterilized Styrofoam
meat tray and fill it with shaving cream (not gel). Take an eyedropper and
drop several drops of one or several different colors over the shaving
cream. You can use either the side of a craft stick or texture paint
paddles to swirl the colors. Take a sheet of regular typing paper and lay
on top of the colored shaving cream. Pat it until the shaving cream
adheres to the paper. Lift straight up and turn shaving cream side up.
Next take a ruler or other straight edge and scrap the excess shaving
cream from the paper. The result will be a beautiful pastel blending of
the colors you put on the shaving cream.
