Last week the kids and I made a list of all the things they wanted to do this summer. I put every item on a piece of paper, and we taped them to the wall. Each time we do something, we take the paper down, and hopefully by the end of summer, the wall will be empty!

Today we decided to make marbleized paper. Sounds complicated, but it's so simple. Just put some food coloring in shaving cream, swirl it around, pat your paper onto it, pull the paper off, wipe off the cream, and voila! Marbleized paper!

The kids had a lot of fun with this activity. There was really no way to mess it up, which was nice. We learned that less is more when it comes to swirling in the color, and Drew was excited to discover that blue and yellow make green when mixed together.

At the end of the gallery, there is a picture of each of the kids with their creations. They are holding their favorite one. We plan to use these pieces of paper to write short notes to mail to friends and family. So some of you might be seeing them in your mailbox in the near future!
