Big Mess
I had a ton of dishes that needed to be washed and I had a child that really wanted to play. Thinking like a mom, I had to find something new to keep Megan occupied so I could wash the dishes. Ah ha...shaving cream! I asked her if she wanted to stand in her tower and play in a big mess, while I did the dishes. She was excited, even though she had no idea what I was talking about. At first she was a little confused, but when I started to draw in it, she was hooked.
Just loving how is feels in her hands.
She loved to show be the big mess on her hands. She would play for a bit, then show me her hands, then go back to playing some more.
Since I was doing dishes anyways, I asked her if she could cover a plastic dish with shaving cream. At first she starting covering it with her hands, but then switched to the cake frosting method.
It was only a matter of time before she discovered that if she shook her hands, the big mess would go flying every where! She thought it was funny and I had time to wash dishes with out having Megan interrupt me every few minutes. I think shaving cream will having to be added to my list of secret play toys that we don't do every often.

What fun. Great way to explore writing skills and textures. Shaving cream also cleans up well. So much fun. Love the pictures.
