Make your own foam paints
What you'll need for your foam paints
White shaving foam
Food colouring in multiple colours
A muffin tin
Paint brushes (or kids little fingers!)
How to make your foam paints
1. Fill each space in the muffin tin with a squirt of shaving foam.
2. Add a drop or two of food colouring to each of the squirts of shaving foam. Use a different colour for each squirt of foam.
3. Take the paint brushes (or get your kids to use their fingers) and paint away! It’s that easy!
4. Because the paint dissolves, any remaining paint can be washed away when the kids are finished.
Tip
You might want to add a very small drop of washing up liquid to the mix to help remove the food colouring a little easier from your kids skin once they've finished painting.
Parents often withdraw their kids from swimming classes in winter as a precautionary measure each year as the temperature drops. When they return to swimming later in the year, not only have they missed out on the many benefits of swimming, they find that their kids still caught all the colds that went around. Check out these tips and keep your kids swimming throughout winter.
Recycling can be so much fun! Kids will love playing with these recycled trucks made from old plastic bottles or containers and other items you have around the house. Building recycled trucks comes with benefits too, getting kids to use their imagination and concentration skills as they come up with different designs.
