I bet Dr. Seuss, Theodore Geisel, liked to celebrate April Fool's Day. Why not celebrate his birthday with this joke shaving cream cake trick activity and read Sue Snue.
Shaving Cream is Versatile. Mix up one batch and enjoy three fun, messy activities for kids. This is a fun way to celebrate a kid's birthday party!
You will need:
1 can of Shaving Cream
Gel Food Coloring
Plastic Spoons
Cake Decorating Sprinkles
Birthday Candles
Recycle Plastic Containers
Paint Brush
Read "Who Are You, Sue Snue?" From Jim Henson's Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss. Sue has a birthday and everyone in town wonders what she will do to celebrate.
Fun Kid's Activity #1
Mix up some shaving cream with a few drops of your favorite color of gel food coloring. Grab a clean, empty, cream cheese container, turn it upside down, and ice it like a cake. Add a candle on top. This is a great idea for Sensory Play!

After the kids have made a sufficient mess, use your left-over shaving cream "icing" in the bathtub. It works great and cleans up easily. (They are going to need a bath!)

This is a great idea! I've never read that book but I am adding to my list to look for.
ReplyDeleteSaw this mentioned on Twitter. Fun ideas to go with a book you don't hear about often. Great job getting messy! This would be a funny April Fool's joke. I'd love if you added this to my Dr. Seuss Link Collection (linky party). http://www.obseussed.com/p/books.html
