Shaving cream and watercolors is our favorite mixture for kids finger painting fun. I know some of you might be cringing from the thought of hands (and arms) getting into that combination, wondering what about the mess? This is when I suggest taking it outside, just like we did with our mirror activity! And while I know this looks messy, the soap in the shaving cream makes clean up a breeze, especially if you can just hose it down when finished. This finger painting activity is perfect for working on the sense of touch!
