Shaving Cream

I remember in first grade we got to play with shaving cream on special occasions to "clean our desk." It was always fun, and made the whole classroom smell amazing. When I taught in a preschool, we would always do shaving cream! It's a great sensory experience! As well as helps with the fine motor skills! You can let kids go on their own, or direct them to "draw" certain things. For example, shapes, letters, and numbers. Much more fun then a worksheet or flashcard! :D

For children with disabilities, or real young ones you can use whipped cream or pudding instead! This way if they eat it-- its okay :D
