ANTICIPATED PROJECTS
Shaving Cream Marbled Paper
Press a piece of cardstock onto the shaving cream, gently lift it off, and use a squeegee to scrape off the excess shaving cream, revealing a beautiful marbled pattern on the paper. Each piece will be unique!

Oobleck Play
Mix cornstarch and water in a large bowl to create Oobleck, a non-Newtonian fluid that behaves like a solid when pressed and a liquid when released. With a few drops of food coloring adds fun and color! This lets the kids play with the Oobleck, exploring its unique properties.

Tie-Dye Coffee Filters
The kids will color coffee filters with washable markers in various patterns. Once done, we will lightly spray the filters with water and watch the colors blend and spread. Once dry, We can use them to create flowers or other decorative items.

Handprint Animals
The kids will paint with their hands with different colors and press them onto paper to create handprint shapes. Once the paint dries, they can turn their handprints into animals by adding googly eyes, drawing faces, and adding other details with markers.
