Day 9 – Shaving Cream

This is a favorite from my days working in preschool!  Shake the can well and give each kid a pile of shaving cream.  Great for tracing letters or practicing writing their name!  I love to see the different personalities come out in their “style” of playing with this kind of sensory material!  {Just check out the pictures above!  Olaf with his Uncles and little Auntie!  Were YOUR uncles and aunts your playmates like that?!  Lucky dude!} 

And the youngest one?  He loved it too!  The first place he put it?  On his face, how appropriate!

Clean up with a basin of water for their hands and a wet cloth for the table… the shaving cream is just like soap.  The only evidence you may be left with is a faint aroma on your children that reminds you of old men with cheap shaving cream! 🙂
