Aric didn't want to touch the pink foamy concoction at first, but here he finally decided to dip in!

Since he didn't want to touch it at first, here he is with a paint brush.  He foam painted a lot of hearts.  Then later, after they dried we cut them out and the boys heart attacked the house.

Here's what we used to make the foam paint.  A little glue, a little paint, and a lot of shaving cream.  Sorry, I don't have exact measurements, I just kind of threw it together.  I realized that the more shaving cream you add, the more foamy it will be.  I drew a bunch of hearts on red paper with a sharpie marker, and let Aric paint as much as he wanted.  I had planned on all 3 kids doing this activity, but Aaron wasn't interested and April was at school, so Aric painted a LOT of hearts.  He didn't mind though, he loved the activity.
