The Very Messy Craft Project

I would NEVER be allowed to work with such potentially messy materials at home. This is very cool indeed. What is this, you ask? I am swirling food coloring through a pile of shaving cream. Later, I'll dip special paper leaves into it and create a tie-dyed effect for my leaf mobil. It's all part of learning about trees, plants, and seeds in a special class at the National Children's Museum. Anderson is here too, but he's skipping the craft in favor of playing with the blocks in the front window.
