The End of Winter Break

Playing with shaving cream mixed with food coloring

It feels neat on the hands...

Yellow and blue made green!

Clean me up, please!

Coloring time, picking a color

Working on a masterpiece

Elmo slippers!

We made the most of our time at the end of winter break while we were home. One afternoon, we gave Emily a bath and sat her down in her high chair for a snack. I got the great idea of putting some shaving cream in a zip lock bag with some food coloring and letting her mush it around. I made yellow, blue, and pink and figured we could talk about the colors and feeling. One of the bags burst open so we figured what the heck, we might as well let her play with it since she is in her high chair. She played with yellow first, then we added blue and talked about it making green. She had a lot of fun, but got herself covered! Glad I did this right after a bath, haha. She cleaned up pretty well, though. Next time we'll plan better and she'll have to wear the smock that she got for Christmas!

The next day, we got out the new crayons that Santa brought in her stocking and let her color with them in her high chair. She had a lot of fun with that, especially putting the crayons in and out of the box! It was much less messy, which was nice.

She hadn't gotten a good chance to wear her Elmo slippers while we were in TX, so she modeled them at home. She was pretty impressed that Elmo was on her feet! Thanks Aunt Jill!
