I have been so happy with my current schedule! It was a bittersweet change but besides the income drop, all has been pretty wonderful. With much research and web stalking, I have been able to come up with activities to keep Saya pretty busy during the day that didn't include the boob tube. Lately though, I have been starting to run out of ideas. So it was a teensy blessing that Saya decided to take her nap in the morning while I was still working. She conked out around 11:30, so once I was finished with work I scanned Pinterest to find some new activities we haven't tried yet.
I came across a pin that redirected me to this post from the blog, How Does She?. Shaving cream + food coloring? I thought this could be very interesting...and it was!
That's my Strawberry-Tangerine Gel Shaving cream... hence the pink ;)
Saya enjoyed working with the shaving cream, swirling the colors over and over again with her paint brushes. Saya's excitement and joy when she does these kinds of activities, makes for one happy Mommy! It helps that yet again, this is an easy and FREE activity! Luckily, I had just about everything on hand and what I didn't have was substituted with something else.
Doesn't this kind of resemble fuzzy food mold? Thank goodness for the pretty colors or I would have grossed myself out!
Here's how her masterpieces turned out...

The only things I did differently was that I used paint brushes we had left over from Saya's Arty Party and I only had the gel shaving cream but not worries! A little stir will foam that bad boy right up!
