Ice Cream Cones - shaving cream color

Today I gave the kids each a large 12x12 piece of paper. We sprayed a LOT of shaving cream on top. Then the kids picked pink, purple, and blue paint. We counted drops into it of each color (up to 3 drops at a time per color) and the kids used their hands to mix the colors together into the shaving cream.
Once the colors were mixed in pretty well (but still with a tye dye effect), we took ice cream scoop cut outs (from extras printed yesterday) and pushed them down into the shaving cream, making sure to get the color all over. Then we took a paper towel and wiped the foam off to leave just the colors.
Tomorrow we will make construction paper cones to attach our beautiful ice cream scoops to! :-)
