Rainbow Foam Dough

Who doesn’t love to play with messy stuff. I know I do so let’s get messy.
I’m going to teach you how to make Rainbow Foam Dough.
This dough only has two ingredients. It’s roughly a one to one ratio of cornstarch and shaving cream.
There is a 3rd ingredient but it is optional; you can use water colors or food coloring. 
You can start by coloring the shaving cream before adding in the cornstarch.
Next slowly start adding the cornstarch to each cup and stir until it starts looking doughy
(number of cups depend on how many colors you want).

I personally liked the dough more on the wet side because it was fluffier and more fun to play with.
The more cornstarch you add the thicker it will get.
It’s your preference how you want it but the thicker it is it will be less foamy.
Mine ended up being more shaving cream than cornstarch.
This activity will get very messy so it is probably better to do outside or somewhere you don't mind a mess.
Most of all HAVE FUN!

When someone thinks of a superhero what comes to mind? Caps, superpowers, bravery and MASK. Telling kids they are active superheros during this time is a great way to bri...
