Easy easy, but messy messy!
All you have to do is drip a few drops of food coloring into a tray of shaving cream and swirl it around. We used red, blue, and brown. The resulting colors were pretty pastels. Depending on the effect you're trying to get, you could go for bright, "boyish" colors, or stick to one color at a time. It all works the same.
Just lay a piece of white paper on top of the swirly pattern and push down gently. Then lift it off. This was all easy enough for Parker to do himself. Then I used another piece of paper folded over to scrape off the excess foam from the dipped paper. It feels like it will remove the pattern, but it actually seems to brighten it instead and obviously helps the picture dry faster.
The results were pretty great considering what was used. We did this over and over again between playing around in it. He loved the feel. The papers were left to dry and then I cut zillions of star shapes to make some decorations with. I punched a hole in the top of each one and threaded some ribbon through them so that they'd hang without glue.
The paper is great for cards, decorations, wrapping paper, framed, or anything else you can think to use it for. :)
