Now, I know I’ve promoted this on my alphabet activities, but this is the first time it wasn’t safely contained in a Ziploc Bag. Let’s just say there was a lot of squeals and screams, mostly by me.
Once the initial excitement wore off, we did math…
We practiced spelling and numbers…
We made art…
We played…
I would recommend providing a clean bowl of water so they can wash off their hands in between as needed. And the bonus here is that clean up was fairly easy and left my counter nice and clean!
P.S. Don’t clap your hands together, or this will happen…
Note: I would recommend cleaning this BEFORE your husband gets home and says to you “Seriously, what were you thinking!?!”
LOL! Isn't it these times that stay the longest in our kids' and our memories. That's what it's all about – the journey, the memories!! LOOKS LIKE TONS OF FUN! I did shaving cream with Turbo and had him keep it in a cookie sheet. Sort of free, sort of contained.I want to know what Tiny Tot was getting into during this fun activity. She's the cutest!
Fun. We use shaving cream like that a lot at our preschool. It gets the tables nice and clean.
We love shaving cream. If you don't like the mess you can always reserve it for bath time. My littlest guys love writing on the bathtub walls with shaving cream.
That looks like a fun creative mess..I've been linking you a bunch, you have great ideas. Thanks, Karen
Well, think of it this way, at least your table is very clean now, and so are the kids. Back when I was teaching we'd do this occasionally to get all of the stray crayon and marker writing off the desks.
This is totally my kind of fun, throw in the learning and really, how can you go wrong? Thanks so much for sharing, I'll be bookmarking this for reminding myself later!
Kudos to you for your bravery! I'm not sure I am ready for that adventure with a two year old! LOL
Fun! I agree with the bathroom idea or an outside table. Thats what I'm planning to do this summer. Looks like they had fun!
I used to do this all the time in my classroom when I was teaching in the PS. Some on, it is fun… smells like shaving cream all day, but fun! 🙂
I say the same thing everytime we play with shaving cream but the kids love it soo much! It's worth it!
