Library Fun

Gray and I enjoy frequent visits to our local library and we recently stumbled across a really cool (and free!) class. We just so happened to be in the children's area when one of the librarians came out and called for any kindergartners, first or second graders.

They all ran into one of the meeting rooms and Gray followed them without looking back. It turns out, they have a weekly class where the librarian reads a handful of stories, shows a short video and then leads the kids in an art project.

We didn't really know what we stumbled across, but it was really fun! Here's the art project they did at the end of the class:

This is shaving cream in a tray and then you drop in water with food coloring. 

Once you are happy with the drops, you swirl it around with a toothpick and then lightly press a piece of paper against it.

It looks like this, kinda a mess. Then the librarian came around with a squeegee and wiped the shaving cream off. 

Here's the final print. So cool! Everyone got to make two. Gotta love the library!
