School Affiliation: Holy Family Catholic School, St. Petersburg, FL

Subject: Art; Science

Grade Level: Kindergarten

Materials:

  • Zip Lock baggies
  • shaving cream
  • finger paint
  • the book, Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni
  • paint brushes
  • white drawing paper

Procedure:

  • Prepare ahead of time zip-lock baggies with shaving cream inside.
  • Have ready blue and yellow finger paint or liquid tempera paint.
  • Read: Little blue and Little Yellow
  • Activity: Add the blue paint and yellow paint to the shaving cream.
  • Zip the bag (I use masking tape in addition!)
  • Have the children squeeze the baggie and play with it. It will turn green!
  • Give children paint brushes, open the baggie, and tell them to paint a picture on white paper using their new color.

Teacher Comments: Children love this. You will need lots of patience but it's worth it.
