After the soap carving, I sprayed some shaving foam on the kitchen island. Sam smoothed it out and set to work drawing and writing in it! Shaving foam makes a wonderful palette for practicing writing letters and numbers!! It isn't sticky at all!! It smells LOVELY! It is surprisingly easy to clean up! It just dries and vanishes on clothes. It wipes up easily from the kitchen counter/ table!! You could put it on a tray if you preferred.
In the past we have used a corn starch/ cornflour mix but that is VERY messy to use - but shaving foam is really easy to clean up :)
Another thing to try - add some white glue to shaving foam and use it to make puffy 3d pictures of snowmen etc for Christmas cards/ Christmas/ wintery pictures!!! They stay puffy!!! :)
