bubble painting and shaving cream cupcakes

Today, I have 2 messy projects for your kids to do outside!  First, bubble painting!
You are going to use regular old bubbles with food coloring added.  Blow them over your watercolor paper and let them pop.

When the paint dries, it fades considerably, but it's lots of fun to do.  

Next, shaving cream cupcakes.  You will need shaving cream, muffin tins, waterbeads and birthday candles.

Add some shaving cream to the cupcake liners.  Let your kids decorate them with waterbead "sprinkles" and birthday candles.

Before you know it, the cupcakes will look like this... oh well!  Needless to say, my preschoolers absolutely loved this activity.
