Shaving Cream fun and Coloring on Windows

This morning the kids wanted to do some crafts. We've been stuck in the house for a few days now so I let them pick from a group of different things that we had all of the supplies for. 

Their first choice was to play with shaving cream. This has been something that the kids have loved over the years. I decided to fill ziploc bags with the shaving cream and a few drops of different colors of paint. Then I taped the tops shut (because Pudge would otherwise have immediately opened his and made a mess) and handed them over. The older kids immediately started playing with them and trying to mix the different colors together. At some point, Pudge started pounding on the bag which everyone thought was hilarious. 
 Pequeño wasn't too sure what to think about it. he kept hitting the bag but if we tried to get him to push down on it with his finger he would turn away and say "Nooooo". However, he didn't want me to take the bag away either.
 Little Bear and Pudge ended up with green bags while Pequeño only had a little bit of color mixed into his.
 The next fun thing was coloring on the windows. Yes, you read that correctly.I let the kids color on the windows. With window markers given to them by their Abuelo and Abuela. The older kids had a blast and kept giggling and checking over their shoulder to make sure that they weren't going to get in trouble.




Then we blew plastic bubbles. I remember using this when I was growing up. The kids thought that they were amazing.
