Candy Cane Paint

This candy cane paint is such a great fun activity for kids.

They love being outside and getting dirty and this was no exception.

The paint was easy to make:

Just add some shaving cream to a bowl,

then add a few drops of peppermint essence,

followed by a few drops of red food colouring,

then swirl.

They started off painting with a paint brush, but

soon realised that it was more fun to use their hands.

They ended up with the stuff everywhere.

I wish I had a photo of this,

but I was too busy trying to stop them from touching everything.

The paint looked cool and smelt really nice.

R wasn’t to impressed with the smell as he doesn’t like anything minty/

But B didn’t care. He just wanted to get messy.
