More than an hour of fun...

All for $2.24 (and a good idea from Beth).

Supplies:
one water hose
2 cans of shaving cream
and a swimsuit for each kid (optional in Brandon's case)
a kid size table helps too, but not essential

Spray a little on the table and then let the kids go to town. It didn't take them long to figure out how to have fun with the shaving cream. Leah was the first to realize she could "attack" Ashlyn with it. Ashlyn squealed and ran away for a bit and then decided she could fight back. haha....it was pretty hilarious. Brandon was my main water rinser. He had more fun rinsing the girls creations off (along with their bodies), than playing in the shaving cream himself. Although, he did get a bit on him too!

The girls are already asking when we can get some more. Thanks for the fun idea Beth. Anyone else have some cheap summer fun ideas? Send them my way.
























The best part was, clean up was a breeze. Just spray down the patio, turn the sprinkler on for the girls and you're back to your sparkling clean self. Now that's my kind of fun!

SERIOUSLY, thanks for the reminder. Barbara did something like this for preschool, but I don't think she incorporated as much water. This is perfect for summer!

YAY! So glad it was fun. We always do this one on bath night b/c they can get as messy as they want and jump in the bath. Super easy clean up. Let me know if you come up with any other cool summer play stuff.
