I found your website the other day and after reading a handful of posts, thought I would say thank you for all the great content. Keep it coming! I will try to stop by here more often.
I have been using the cheap barbesol to fill the bags. It worked great. I pretended I was filling the bags with frosting and then zipped them up. I also used the quart sized freezer bag to do this, it might have made it a bit easier. It was a ton of fun, though! Good Luck!
I use these at school and put Hair gel in them. I fill them half full with hair gel and a couple drops of food coloring. Then I put my hand across the bag to hold back the gel and zip loc the bag. I leave a itty bitty corner open for a little bit so i can push all the air out and then I close and flatten the bag…spread out the gel and write on it…the kids have loved it.
I just recently had a friend tell me that they tried this with the exact same result 🙂 My thinking is that shave cream has too much water in it so it will come out of the bag easily. I love this idea though just for the sensory play aspect. I used hair gel and food color instead but not too much – just about 1/4 cup per baggie.
My students love just finger painting in Shave Cream! They will sit and finger paint in it for a very long time:)
