Once you have finished attaching the paper clips, your kids can decorate their pencil holder with paint, stickers, or anything else they might like. Then, all they need to do is fill it up with pencils and pens and they are ready to go.

Once the shaving cream is all colored in, have your kids use a spoon to scoop it out and put it on a piece of paper. Then, let them use a toothpick or other sharp object to swirl around the colors some more. Once they are done, they will have a beautiful piece of marbled art.
