This Shaving Cream Paint craft is fun to do with kids on a lazy afternoon. As they dream of cooler temperatures, they can create fall leaves as sweet\u00a0reminders of the beautiful colors of autumn.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/p>\n

You can do this with toddlers and above. The ingredients are non-toxic, but the paint can stain clothes. So make sure that everyone wears their art smocks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you do this craft with older kids, have them do research on different trees that lose their leaves in fall. Then let them choose the types of leaves they want to design. Then have them cut out their favorite leaves.<\/p>\n

This is a great time to talk with the kids about how the trees are preparing for winter. The leaves change color because it’s time for the tree to seal off those leaves and stop making food. The tree grows new leaves again\u00a0in spring when there is once again plenty of water and sunshine to begin the food-making process inside the leaves.<\/p>\n
