Fun Well Done: Simple Tree Projects and Shaving Cream Table

The Newspaper Tree
This one is really easy. All you need is newspaper and a paper towel roll.

For younger children: Roll up the newspaper and insert it into paper towel tube. Have children tear the newspaper to make leaves. (In the photo the tree with ripped leaves is on the left.)

For children who can use scissors: Roll up the newspaper and insert it into the paper towel tube. Have children cut the newspaper to make leaves. You can fold the leaves like an accordion for a cool effect (pictured right).

Shaving Cream Table
One of my favorite summer time activities is a shaving cream table. It’s fun and easy to clean.

Spray shaving cream (not the gel kind) over a low table or on the ground. Let the children have at it with trucks, cars, spatulas, craft sticks or with their hands. You’ll provide hours of fun and take only minutes to clean. Add food coloring to the shaving cream to jazz things up.
