We have enjoyed playing with shaving cream at the kitchen table for a long time now. It’s good, messy fun that is easy to clean up. Plus, I have to say the kitchen table is always a lot cleaner afterwards!
For some reason I have never let them play with it in the tub.
Until now.
The other day they were grumbling with each other, and my oldest decided she was going to get a bath.
The next thing I knew, the youngest was peeling off his clothes, too. (He can’t resist when he hears the water running in the tub!)
And big sister was furious! “I don’t want you in here!”
Shaving cream to the rescue!
I put a couple drops of food coloring in two different containers and then added shaving cream and told them to get mixing with their fingers. They were super excited by the colored shaving cream, and started painting the walls immediately.
Peanut had fun drawing shapes and practicing letters, while Monkey covered the walls and then drew a variety of cars.
And since it was in the tub, clean up was a breeze!
Oh, and I did I mention how clean the tub was once they wiped it down with a washcloth?
Love it when cleaning can be fun!

When my son was young, they used to have a shaving cream like product in diff colors for kids. He had so much fun with it, but it wasn’t on the market that long. It is really a great idea because like you said, clean-up is so easy.

This is so fun! I love ideas like this. And the clean up being easy is a bonus for sure!

Anytime clean up is easy, it is more likely to get repeated! 🙂

It’s actually amazing how clean the tub is after you throw shaving cream all over it! Hmmm…makes me think!
